Windows doesn't like having a completely different computer given to it.

In short, you need to format the hard drive and reinstall windows.

Ya ,I completly agree there.

Exemple:

If you have ,lets say a AMD Athlon 1700+ XP and a AT-MAX2 motherboard, and you want to change to...P4 3.2gb and ASUS motherboard...anyway,your Windows XP will reject for one, all the drivers and everything that boots with that particular,first initalled system!
There for resulting in your "blue screen error".
