    The exact contents of the error message(s) would be helpful. If you have tried a new hard drive and different memory combinations, that leaves the following:

    1. Add-in hardware cards. Remove any you don't absolutely need to install Windows.

    2. Power supply. Post the make and wattage.

    3. Motherboard. Check for bulging or leaking capacitors.

    Try changing the hard drive data cable if you haven't already. If that doesn't help then I'd suspect the hard disk controller on the motherboard as the most likely suspect.

    Depending on what motherboard you have, if you have PATA and SATA ports, you might be able to change to a different hard drive type and get it working. It could also be a memory controller problem though. You could try resetting the BIOS to factory defaults.
