Default XP hanging at startup

Here we go AGAIN!

First off im going to list the parts i bought which i thouroghly checked for compatablilty.

Seagate ST3320620AS 320GB Hard Drive SATAII 7200RPM 16MB Cache - OEM - Ebuyer
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ CPU - Cheap at Ebuyer!
Crucial 1GB DDR2 667MHz/PC2-5300 Memory Unbuffered CL5 Non-ECC 1.8V - Ebuyer
MSI K9N6SGM-V GeForce 6100 Socket AM2 onboard VGA and 8-channel audio mATX - Ebuyer

Now that is the 8x PCI slot mobo, but im not using those, and doubt i ever will.

I installed XP Home on this with no problems at all, then it starts hanging on the XP loading screen with the bar running accross the bottom.

I have googled around and some say its the video handler or something, now this is using the mobos video.

Also, this used to happen with my old PC, so could it be XP, or am i missing something.
