BSOD during install

I posted this on the general discussion group by mistake so I'm posting here
just to make sure.

Around about the 55% mark of the Completing Installation stage I get a blue
screen of death and cannot get any further, safe mode will load but if I
attempt to load normally to continue the install I just get the same error
screen and have to reboot. This has happened twice, both times at the same
stage.

My specs are:

AMD AM2 Athlon 5200+
Asus Crosshair mobo (I haven't updated the drivers or BIOS for this since I
bought it)
2 Gb of GEIL RAM (GX22GB6400UDC dual channel kit)
2x 200GB Maxtor HDD
GeForce 8800 GTS (with the latest XP drivers)
Asus DRW-1814BLT

I've not been able to catch the exact error message but it was something like
"PAGE_INTO_NON_PAGED_AREA" and the more I read the more likely it seems to
me to be something to do with my out of date mobo drivers and BIOS.

Any constructive comments and/or advice is welcome.

Thanks in advance.
