BAH HELP!, with my new computer Options

[Seth6Gen]

I just ordered a gateway 200ARC laptop from an internet company w/o a operating system. Ive tryed several times to install windows XP pro, Windows XP home, and windows 2000 pro. When I try to install XP i get a blue error screen telling me that its dumping the physcical memory yadda yadda yadda. When i install 2000 pro it just errors and tells me i have to restart. Any sugestions, or is this a hardware problem that i should ship it back to the company. Thanks all!

edit: its a centrino 1.4ghz display model that aparently worked before it shipped, it was then formatted and sent to me. also i tried using different memory. no luck

Here's something you can do. When it goes out on blue screen again, write down the error message. It will be on hex. Then go to your search engines, just search why it's giving you that error message. Without that message, there's not much that anyone will be able to help you with, except give you blind solutions, or tell you to get another computer. Good luck.
