You cant figure out the problem with my computer!!!

Hey,
I just built my computer and it is the most gayest thing on the face of the earth!!!
Heres the deal; When i start up my computer I enter the bios set the cd-rom drive as first boot. Then I insert windows XP pro in the cd-rom drive, I exit out of the bios, the computer restarts.
(everything is going smoothly for now) after this it goes to the windows XP setup. It installs a couple of stuff into my hardrive. Then it tells me I have more memory, and do I want to use my maxium memory. sure why not, so I use my max memory.
After It finishes formatting my hardrive the computer restarts. then it says, "booting from cd-rom drive, push any key to continue" I push a key and it goes crazy, here are the errors I get:
1. The computer just shuts off
2. It has some error stateing 00004 trap exception and some numbers and letterings
3. If am lucky it goes to the windows XP menu and say, "cannot continue out of memory"
4. one time, it went to an grey screen with letters going down (Kinda like the Matrix)
First I thought it was the hardrive, but it wasen't. I used some another hardrive and it still messes up .
What is it?? what is the problem?? Motherboard, processor, ddr ram, hardrive, the A drive, cd-rom drive, the freakin IDE cables?!?!? what is it. help please.
Worthless computer specs:
gigabyte 7VAX motherboard
40X cd-rom drive
old A drive
Matrix 120 gigabytes ATA 133 ultra 7200 RPM
ddr ram memory 512 pc2700
AMD processor 2600 2.08ghz

after it reboots you dont boot from the cd rom you boot from the hard drive

A trap exception error on boot usually signals a severe hardware problem, anything from misconfigured or incompatible hardware to physically damaged hardware. Write down what the *exact* error message is, including those numbers and letters and let us know what it is.

You let it reboot with the CD in the drive after it wipes your drive. Once the OS is fully installed, you take the CD out before rebooting.

by the way I did try to boot up windows from hdd0 it said: NTLDR is missing.
another error came up when I booted up my computer : CMOS checksum error-defaults loaded
Posted by: Heathen
CMOS checksum error-defaults loadedv = BIOS error. Did you flash it by any chance?
Posted by: fibbi
if its a CMOS problem, try clearing it. Find your manual, and get the right jumper setting. (man, i seem to be telling that to a lot of people these days )

How do I flash the cmos or bios?? And what do I clear the hardrive or cmos?? Do I need some sort of disk to clear either one of them??

hey,
I reduced the errors into less then before. I think now I just get two errors and it states on the windows XP setup menu: "entry "1" in the [source sksname] section of the INF file corrupt or missing." And the other one, "file\i386\ntkrnlmp.exe could not be loaded. the error code is 4." I think the problem was the hardrive, I had to format it on the max blast floppy from www.maxtor.com. I also flash the bios to the latest version, which is currently f10. I really don't know what to do?? Should try to boot up win98 or hopfully install windows XP successfully.
