XP on new box

[jc0033]

Hey all,
I'm having a little problem I havent run into before. I just put together a new box. AOpen ak86l mobo, amd64 2800+, 1 sick of supertalent 512 DDR400 in dimm1. regular ide config with wd8000.
box also includes pny geforce 5700 le

When I boot off of xp pro disc I get the initial dos based boot screen telling me windows is detecting my hardware. After a few seconds the screen goes blank and after another few moments the cd drive stops spinning. No further activity at all.

I tried booting off of a 98 boot. Navigated to i386 on cd and started to load running wnnt. It started copying files over but again stopped after a few moments.

I was able to successfully install w2k pro booting off of the cd and Suse 9.2 can also install ok. Its just a prob installing XP. Thinking it may be a media issue , I tried 2 other xp pro disks with the exact same results.

Has anyone else run into something like this or have any ideas ?? Could I need to update bios ???

Any ideas greatly appreciated .
