My guess is this is your computer BIOS having complications with ACPI or advanced configuration powerinterface.
Perform a clean install, meaning wipe delete all existing partions prior or just do it the easy way (Put the disk in, and choose 'New Instalation')
When you get this offer "Press F6 to load SCSI/Raid drivers", press F7, this will bypass the ACPI detection process. Continue the instalation as normal.
Problem solved.
