Brand New installation of XP Pro SP2 not booting..

Hello everyone...

Before I start I want to say that I've already tried changing boot devices in BIOS and so on..
Ive bought a new harddrive...
But PC doesnt boot from Windows CD even though Ive booted from the same CD before... I phoned the Customer Service and they told me that It might be the DVD ROM device that is faulty and that I should try booting from another device...

Well... Ive read somewhere that XP doesnt boot(?).. and that I had to boot from the Bootable MemTest86+ ISO.. So I buirned it on a CD... Booted from it and I got this far..

Boot from CD:
1. FD 1.44MB System Type-(00)
(here a underscore keeps blinking but nothing else happens)

The light on the floppy reader remains lit (ive not plugged it upsidedown) while trynig to boot but nothing happens for 10 minutes....



I thought that the PSU might be the problem after all as it doesnt run with graphics card and even from the onboard graphics it doesnt seem to give enough power and so it flickers...

I looked at the PSU and found the values

VOLTAGE = 115V - 230V
Orange = 28A
Red =40A
White = 0.3A

CURRENT = 4-10A, 2-5A
Yellow=17A
Blue=0.8A
Purple=2A

FREQUENCY = 60 Hz, 50 Hz

There is also a note at the bottom of the PSU saying..

450W (which is the one I have) Total Power on +3.3V & 5VIS 170W MAX

Im wondering if anybody knows how to solve this problem now...
