If it locks as it's playing the startup sounds, it might be sound card related. Turning it off might be a challenge. Is it onboard sound? Try disabling the sound card in the BIOS. If an add-in card, simply remove it.
What do you mean by "everything loaded"? Is it a fresh XP install, or did you add a thousand apps already.
What's the error say on the BSOD? Stop code...anything....

 

hey

its a fresh install of xp pro, i have loaded norton system works so far

Here's a link that should help: http://www.jsiinc.com/SUBM/tip6000/rh6045.htm

Once you get past the latest problem try using Safe Mode, depress F8 and hold it down after the hardware is listed to access the Boot menu.
