System is running XP Home SP2 (same problem on XP Pro)
Mobo: Asus M3N78 Pro
RAM: (cheapy) Kingston RAM (approved for said Mobo) 2Gigs
HD: WD SATA Caviar 320GB
CPU: AMD Phenom X4 9500
Problem: Never heard of this... whenever I try to autorun the Chipset CD from Asus or try to install a driver off the CD via Device Manager (Add Hardware), it'll get about 1/3 or 1/2 way through the install and freeze, all activity will stop (HD, CD-ROM, everything) and then the screen will go white. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Mobo has been flashed to most recent version. I'm using the M3N78 Pro's on-board graphics to run to a tube monitor (old style) and the system boots fine every time. Problem occurs in safe mode as well... Thanks for looking!

Edit: I'm placing this in the hardware section as the problem has occurred on two replacement Mobos and RAM that was not approved for the Mobo and ram that was on multiple fresh installs of XP (both Pro and Home SP2).
