During installation of a new copy of Windows Xp pro, it freezes during the set up process at random points of the install.
I have an ABIT Fatality motherboard
Intel P4 Extreme edition processor
Kingston Hyper X memory
Seagate Barracuda 250gb hard drive

All components are brand new, what might the problem be???At what point does it hang...........after the eula or before it..Well actually the original XP pro cd I purchased doesn't get that far.  When I boot from the CD I get,

INF txtsetup.sif startup can not continue, press any key to exit.

So I tried another copy of XP pro and it gets to the "Windows Setup" , starts loading the files, and then freezes at random at Loading files

It's strange, I have built a few pc's and have NEVER had a problem installing Windows but this one seems special...Is this install via a remote server..No the install I'm trying to do is directly from the Windows XP pro CD..Unpacking, copying & installing Windows OS files is very demanding on hardware. Any weakness will kill it, especially ram and HD problems.
Browse your xp help files on the disk and you will find how to copy (I think the i386 directory) straight to your HD, using a boot disk, then unpack & install straight from there. There are numerous other install tips as well.
If I were you though I would be looking for the root cause of the hardware problem so you are not plagued with inadvertant crashes in the future.Just make sure that the CD isn't cracked or has a scratch on the label side. If it is cracked you can throw it away. If there is a scratch it might be repairable.

Make sure that the CDs you are using are scrupulously clean. You can wash them in luke-warm water with two drops of mild soap solution mixed in and a soft sponge, then gently dry with a clean linen cloth. Doing this simple task very often solves the problem of read ERRORS from the CD and ENSURES a smooth install.Also make CERTAIN that your hardware is not overheating. Remove excessive DUST and/or install a better cooling solution.
