If it comes up with an error straight after installing a fresh copy of XP (with the standard Microsoft drivers) then I would strongly suggest checking your disk again.
Also, ensure all cables, PCI Cards and memory modules are seated correctly in your computer.
The latest drivers for your graphics card can be downloaded from here: http://download.nvidia.com/Windows/56.72/56.72_winxp2k_english_whql.exe
They are version 56.72 (if you couldn't guess!).
One more thing, if you're overclocking, reduce the FSB to it's default value while troubleshooting. Ensure your memory is rated for the speed it is running at.
