BSOD when booting from xp CD

[lostproph37]

So I just built my rig last night and this morning
Asus Sabertooth Z77
I7 3770k LGA1155
Geforce Gtx 770 Superclocked 2Ghz
Seagate 240Gb SSD
Hp optical drive
Corsair RM-750 PSU
2x8gb Gskill Ripjawsx


The problem im having is I am pretty new to building and im not sure whats happening here.
I boot up into my bios the video has some lines and some purple blocks , I changed my SATA settings to IDE . So i put the xp disc in and it immediately boots up a bluish screen with some video issues ( will these go away when i can update my video drivers? )

and it immediately asks me if i want to press F6 to install 3rd party raid , or press F2 to enter automated system recovery , I dont hit any of them and it says setup is loading files. It loads files for about a minute or two then says "starting Windows" but as soon as that shows up it pops into a BSOD

I was happy enough i could boot into BIOS as this was my first BIG build. Now i just want to figure out the Video issue and obviously why xp wont load

Artifacts could mean bad GPU but the BSOD's bad ram where I would start by trying one stick at a time, really though why run new hardware on XP which is getting obsolete?

honestly the only reason i want to install xp is so i can use my student discount to upgrade it to 8.1
With the 5 licenses can i just buy the Student upgrade to 8.1 and will they give me a CD for it ?

I just want to get an OS on here i figured upgrading from xp would cost less than buying a full new copy of 8.1 you know?

Let me know what you think. I'm still a noob , so sorry if im saying some stupid things haha.

Well I thought there was only one version of student license and you actually do not have to install XP just have the product key but you will have to start here http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/Windows-8-Pro-Upgrade-%E2%80%93-Student-Offer/productID.264954100 then after installing 8 8.1 is an update through win update.

Oh well that sound like a better plan then. Do you think i would have the same types of issues trying to install the new windows OS ?

Possibly but I would try one stick of ram at a time if that happens.
