Blue Screen of Death - new system build w/ old hard drive

I'm geting the Blue Screen of Death on a brand new system I built. It has yet to boot into Windows XP. I have a new motherboard, cpu, video card, and RAM along with 2 of the old hard drives, 1 with XP and the other with Linux Ubuntu. Neither drive will boot.

I can get into the BIOS fine, it then runs a memory check which says it's ok, then as it continues to boot and I am expecting the XP splash page, then I get the BOSD.
It says to check newly installed hard drives, hard drive controllers, check for viruses, and check the drive for errors. This is the error:

STOP: 0x0000007B (OXF78A2528, 0XC0000034, 0X00000000, 0X00000000)

I have also received this error:

STOP: 0x0000007B (OXBACC7528, 0XC0000034, 0X00000000, 0X00000000)

Here are the new parts I am using:

ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI MCP ATX AMD Motherboard

AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ Windsor 2.6GHz 2 x 1MB L2 Cache Socket AM2 Processor

SAPPHIRE 100166L Radeon X1650XT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Video Card

CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory

Could this BSOD be due to faulty RAM?

What i do when i get this BSOD. I download a hard drive tester according to the brand of hard drive and scan it. Tell me how you go.
 
Have you tried reformatting?

Each time you put in new mobo, you need to reformat as each Mobo has different settings.
