disable autorun on all drives/dvd drive.

in windows 7 control panel-->autorun.

in xp(do this before inserting any cd/dvd):
Open Windows Explorer by pressing the Windows + "e" key.
Right-click the desired CD-ROM and select Properties from the menu.
Select the AutoPlay tab.
Select each item from the pulldown list and for the Action to perform, select "Take no action" to disable autorun, or pick the apporpriate action to take if enabling autorun.
Select OK.

after disabling autorun try again with same dvd & a different cd/dvd to confirm if the problem is with dvd or not.if problem is not with the dvd then recheck all drive connections & try with different sata & power cable.

check for driver updates and software updates the most common thing for Bluescreen
check ur HDD for smart errors and perform a CHKDSK f4 BSOD is usually bcoz of Bad sectors in HDD or SMART Failure

If you can reassemble all your parts, do that (remember your faulty SATA cable/port problem?). Then do a chkdsk. I guess everything should be fine by then.

^Nothing can be done except to take it to local technician which is too risky and should be only done when the damaged one is last.

You won't get warranty coverage for damages caused by improper handling.

As I said before, please change the drive once and check. as your current problem's source is the DVD Drive, you should check by replacing it with another test drive. Apart from that try swapping the SATA Ports for your drive and HDD.

Windows XP? can I know the reason why you want to stick to windows XP and not the latest version i.e., Win 7

im not sure about tools available in Ubuntu to create Bootable XP Flash Drive , but if you can get hold of some of your friends laptop/pc then you can use this guide How to Create a Bootable XP Flash Drive | eHow.com

I would still recommend you to go for Win 7

EDIT: Another link for information on creating Win7 Bootable USB Drive Microsoft releases Win 7 USB / DVD download tool for easy install on netbooks without DVD drive

I also want to run windows 7....but my father has to use the pc for running tally 7.2 for his accounting work

And morever the issue is solved it was that psu which was creating problems...will never buy that stuff ...ill be getting it replaced as it is having another 3 month replacement warranty left..and will sell it rightaway...the problem was with sata power connectors
