Later on in this message you mentioned you were looking at amd64/5.3-REL, but
from the name & date of the BIOS I think you have an AMD32 motherboard, not
AMD64: http://www.ecsusa.com/products/k7sem.html
If this is so, then you would certainly do better to install the 32-bit
generic x86 version of FreeBSD 5.3. However, you also mentioned that Windows
was blue-screening, which suggests that there may be other problems with the
system as well, possibly a bad power supply or the like.
