uninstall everything that is not needed in order to post. ie: cdrom, dvdrom, fd, nic, soundcard. try to install os with just 1 (that is if u have 2x512 or not) stick of ur ram. if lockup occurs try using just the other. if lockup still occurs use a different hdd. maybe throw that hdd from ur new rig into the one ur using to access these forums and see if u can install os on it from the other pc. 60 degrees is fine for that cpu for it gets hot. just to add in u can use a cd for memtest as well.
