I purchased all the components to build my computer along with XP Pro OEM with the assurance that Microsoft would support any issues that I might have. Is this correct?
Microsoft provides free direct support for "retail" versions of their software, not OEM versions. If you have a question related to Windows XP, please post it in one of the appropriate Windows XP newsgroups: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/newsgroups.mspx
