Computer keeps hanging.

One thing you could try, is stripping down your system to just the
following:

(a) Motherboard
(b) RAM
(c) CPU
(d) PSU
(e) Video card
(f) Booting HDD

Now try it. Tell me, did you notice it hanging before you installed the
drivers for all the devices? Also, sometimes the order of installing the
drivers make a difference. I would try that above. If it still hangs, try
the following (some items are a little drastic, I know):

(a) Boot to MS-DOS, does it still hang?
(b) Re-install XP, but don't install the drivers, does it hang?
(c) Is your RAM module compatible with the motherboard? Try a different RAM
module
(d) Try a replacement PSU in your system

Hope this helps give you a start.
