Ok, this computer has been ticking me off for the last two months so I've finally decided to ask for help.

I have a 2400+ in an At7-max2, 512-XMS3200, r9700pro. The damn thing wont get pasted the "Setup is starting windows" message when installing XP. I figured the kt400 didnt like the r9700 pro, so I tried all kinds of video cards instead, even a PCI card. Same thing. Fine, so I switch the max2 with an nf7-s v.2. Nope. Switch the memory. Nope. Finally, I swap the 2400+ with a 2100+ and the damn thing works. So its the cpu right? Wrong. The 2400+ works fine in a different system. What's going on here?

well all i can think is that your mobo has a problem with the 2400+. have you messed with the bios?

It worked just fine in that mobo for about six months before it crapped out on me. One day it froze up, so I restarted and it would freeze at the windows load screen every time.
