The last computer I worked on that had this problem was due to having 
the SDR memory voltage, normally 3.0V, pinned out on the motherboard to 
the DDR memory voltage, 2.5V. After I checked te complete set of pin 
outs, I discovered the error, the user was playing repair man, corrected 
it and FC2 installed as smooth as a baby's bottom.
Check out the fundamentals on the motherboard to be sure they are set 
correctly. Usually, hangups during isntallation of an operating system, 
even blendoze, indicated a memory or voltage problem. Hope this helps.
