Help!!!

I have just bought a new motherboard, cpu, ram, and hard drive all other components are the same as before - cd-rw, dvd player, videocard, etc. I have installed Win2000 Corp Edition and now when I try to install the drivers for the mouse, keyboard, and video card I get a blue screen that says Stop - then some numbers not sure what they are, then on the next line it gives me an IRQL error. This only happens when I try to install software and drivers though. Also internet is acting funny, sometimes it works then it doesn't, then it will work for a short time, not sure whats going on. I have formatted and re-installed win2000 4 times, trying different options each time and still nothing changed. I also tryed to flash the BIOS to update it to the new version which I have on the ASUS cd but it would not let me install it. I have been informed that it is not recommended to flash the BIOS if there is no problems, so the only other thing that I can see being wrong is the 256 stick of RAM that I have just bought. Does anybody have any suggestions on things I can try, before I start tearing hardware out of this computer.
Willing to try just about anything.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks

. . .a blue screen that says Stop - then some numbers not sure what they are, then on the next line it gives me an IRQL error

How bout figuring out what they are and sharing. Start with the line that starts with Stop and the line immediatly after it.

Here is the exact error as found on the blue screen:

***STOP;0x000000D1 on the same line as below(0xF443FFBC,0x00000002,0x00000000,0xF443FFBC)
on the next line
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
next line
Begining Dump of Physical Memory

"The system attempted to access pageable memory using a kernel process IRQL that was too high. The most typical cause is a bad device driver (one that uses improper addresses). It can also be caused by caused by faulty or mismatched RAM, or a damaged pagefile"
