Blue screen after new build!!!

[werewolf16]

So I just finish building a new system but it is unable to boot past the windows xp startup screen ( i am retaining my old hard drives but changed most of the parts except this hard drive and power supply ). Then I tried to boot in safe mode and its boots it right away. I type the dxdiag in the run, and I can see that my motherboard, cpu and ram are recognized. But still I am having this problem booting past the windows xp startup screen in normal mode. Can it be the power supply's problem because it is pretty old( around 4 to 5 years old and 400 watts).

system components:
cpu: AMD Athlon II X2 250 Regor 3.0GHz 2 x 1MB L2 Cache Socket AM3 65W( using the included fan of the cpu )
motherboard: ecs mcp61m-m3 v1.0a
hard drive: old one ( is working properly in my old system )
power supply: old and 400 watt ( doesn't have any system fan connector and speaker connector )
memory: Corsair XMS3 4GB 2 X 2 GB PC3-10666 1333Mhz Dual Channel 240 pin DDR3

If you look at the image that @OgCracKer posted that adapter has only four wires. That one only provides +5 Volts and +12 Volts.

If you look at the image that I posted you will see five wires. The orange wire is the one that will provide +3.3 Volts.

Thank you so much ko888 but can I ask one more question. Does my hard drive really needs the 3.3 volt ?( my hard drive -> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136073&nm_mc=TEMC-RMA-Approvel&cm_mmc=TEMC-RMA-Approvel-_-Content-_-text-_- )
If my hard drive doesn't need the orange wire( 3.3 volts ) and I have brought the connector with the orange wire ( 3.3 volt one ), will my hard drive still work?

Electrical Specifications for the WD5000AAKS shows that it only uses +12 Volt DC and +5 Volt DC.

If you have purchased the 5-wire adapter already there is no harm in using it. The hard disk drive won't have any electrical connection to the +3.3 Volt pins in the SATA power connector so it will be ignored.

Thank you so much for the help, now I finally installed my os but my system doesn't have any sound. I have installed the sound driver and when I tested my speaker, no sound is coming out. Maybe I didn't connect the wire correctly in the motherboard. What is the main connector and wire I am suppose to use for the sound? And i don't seem to have the spk power cable for my motherboard, can that be the problem? When I finish installing my sound driver, it said audio failed but I checked my device manager, and it said my sound driver is working properly.

For external powered speakers you should be using the green line-out audio port.

You can get the latest VIA VT1705 Windows 7 driver from the VIA Technologies, Inc. website.
