Just to restate your current situation - you have a computer on which 
you have installed a new motherboard and a new hard drive. When you try 
to install XP pro, you get a message that there is a problem and the 
computer shuts down.

Assuming that the new motherboard and hard drive are good and both 
configured correctly, I would check to make sure the RAM is good and 
seated securely.

I don't know what else to suggest since the problem occurs part way 
through the installation rather than at the beginning. Others may have 
some more ideas.
