Are you doing clean installs (i.e. formatting the hard disk before each installation)? If not, I would try that first. (Teaching Granny to suck eggs I'm sure but don't forget to back up any user data first because you'll lose everything on the drive).

If you've already done a clean install, I would agree that it looks like a hardware problem. If you've only done upgrades the hardware may not necessarily be broken, perhaps just not happy with one of the software installations. I haven't come across the error message myself but the Microsoft KnowledgeBase makes it sound like a hardware compatibility issue. The IRQ in the error suggests some sort of problem between the motherboard and a peripheral.

Clutching at straws a bit, try taking out any cards that are not necessary (modem, audio etc) and see if you get any further.

Good luck
