My cousin built my computer with parts I picked out. He's been testing it at his house for a while and he got Windows installed and stuff. Tonight, he brought it up to me at college. The very first time we hooked it up here and turned it on, it worked fine right up to the desktop, but we found that Windows did not recognize the keyboard and mouse so we rebooted it. No post. The machine turns on and runs, but there's nothing going on on the monitor. A few reboots later and nothing so we let it sit for about 10 minutes and boot it up and it then works again. This time, the keyboard works in Windows, but the mouse doesn't and then a minute later, a blue screen. =(
We reboot it a couple more times. After a few no posts later, the boot screen comes up and freezes at checking the USB stuffs. My cousin thinks it may have something to do with the USB drivers not being compatible or something. It sucks because when my cousin put everything together at his house, it all worked perfectly (I mean, it had to have worked for a long time for him to be able to get Windows XP64 on there...) and now nothing. Pretty frustrating. I don't think he updated the bios though so that also may be a problem, but now I can't even get on to do that.
Anyone know anything about it? =/

EDIT: I just hooked it up now and there was a post. This time it booted up to the desktop screen and Windows recognized both the mouse and keyboard. However, about a minute and a half later, another BSOD. I called my cousin and he said it may just be a bios problem now. I rebooted the computer again and another no post so I'm back on this old one again. =(
SECOND EDIT: 2 hours later after the last edit.
I hooked up the computer again and booted it up. It went through to the desktop again and both the mouse and keyboard worked again. After about two minutes, another BSOD comes up. I'm not sure what I was supposed to write down so I wrote down:
"DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
usbhub.sys Address FFFFFADFC60BBD2E base at FFFFFADFC60B4000 DateStamp 42435eb7"
So I reboot the computer. I get one continuous beep and no loadup screens. I reboot again. Same thing. I reboot again and nothing at all. I reboot again and nothing once again.
Hmm...
UPDATE 3: 2:30am next day
Turns out that a problem was one of the RAM sticks. I took one out and it worked fine, no BSOD. I put that stick back in and took the other out and there was no post. So I'm assuming that the problem was just the stick of RAM.
