Would it be possible for you to swap that 4 GB memory stick for two 2 GB sticks or simply add another 4 GB stick? BTW, some Asus mobo's have a memory check built into the BIOS. I'm still thinking that your problem stems from the hardware side. I have a lot of experience installing XP on various hardware configurations and haven't seen this particular problem before. As far as drivers go, XP is only going to initially install what it needs to get the kernel up and running. The LAN, SATA, video, etc., are all on your system CD that came with the mobo. It might turn out to be something simple like a bad SATA cable or something similar.
