    I ran into this same problem when we bought the 3 dells we use at the shop. It had me gritting my teeth. I could run anything but the oem xp. I'm happy to hear you didn't go through the days of trying. Once I found the setting that made the bsod go away in the bios I left it. It is supposed to be less efficient, but I can only imagine the things in store for when I try to get the drivers going during install.

    I just went through this not even 10 mins ago. I found out the hard way. After looking at the bios for a while I saw this and changed it and now it works.

    computers with pre-installed Windows 7 or Vista tend to have this issue, for those who are trying to install Win XP on that computer.
