Moved:the How-to's and tutorial section is for people writing tutorials and how to's.
please post here when you have a question to ask.

in answer to your qustion, this software will test your ram http://www.memtest86.com/
if your ram passes this test, then the problem is elsewhere, if not, then you have a hardware problem, most likely ram. possably cpu.

How many ram sticks are in your machine ? if more than 1, try removing all but one, then test again.
if that fails, try removing that ram and insterting one you removed.

We may also be able to provide better help if you could tell us what errors winxp setup gave you before it stopped.
