BSOD on new build!!!?

I just upgraded my computer's motherboard/processor/embly and I'm getting a BSOD that's too fast to read. The Windows boot screen just freezes up and BSOD's extremly fast. And when I try to boot in safe mode it freezes while loading "giveio.sys." The current setup is a Q9300 processor, DFI LanParty DK board and Corsair XMS2 memory. I checked and the memory isn't DOA, the board seems fine, the processor is fine, and so are the hard drives. The cpu isn't overclocked and after trying to boot with multiple drives and Windows installations I stil can't get it to boot. I plan on installing Vista 64 on a new drive, but wanted to get it running on XP Pro 32 for now. Is this all OS related?
