VIA CRAPIA NIMROD C3(C3 standing for crashes every 3 minutes)

thats what they should have named this thing!

I have had similar install problems such as yours, I'd make sure your XP disk is cool...if you have another, try it....I would also try a different CD Rom, that might cause some data transfer issues....do a clean install after you 0 out the drive....
