Bit more info please

Is there anything on the PC already?
Is this a full install?
Have you tried cleaning the disk?
What was on the PC before?

Have you checked your RAM as bad RAM can cause this fault

Try this go to the BIOS setting and deactivated all on-motherboard hardware, such as on-board sound card, graphics card, usb devices, etc.
Remove all plug in items from the PC such as printers etc then try reinstall if it works enable the hardware disabled previously in the BIOS

disconnect all external peripherals except the monitor, keyboard and mouse, and be sure those are not USB, or wireless. Any internal USB card should also be removed.
