P965 Platinum fails during XP install

I am attempting to set up a new machine with the P965 Platinum MB.
While installing Windows that system crashes as soon as the all the
drivers are loaded and it says "Starting Windows" or words to that
affect, meaning it is now going into graphics mode. I then get a blue
screen with a long "STOP" address and a reference to pci.sys and
another address.

I am only using an IDE CD-RW and IDE HD. No SATA. I've installed a
floppy drive so I could flash the BIOS. It is now current at version
1.3. I have also tried to install the JMicron drivers (F6 during
Windows setup), but the results were the same.

Anyone have any ideas?

Get the stop code, the first hex number on the blue screen. It gives
a specific reason for the failure. Look it up in the MS Knowledge
Base "Stop Code xxxxx" or Google the same to check for the reason and
suggested fixes. Good luck.

I had the same problem .
Sounds like your installing winxp with service pack 1 or less.

I think this board requires xp with service pack 2 to install , it solved my
problem
