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.
