and this happens even with the install cd.

My laptop is a DELL M65 and the diagnostics say everything is correct. Memory, disk, irqs, etc.

The diagnostics CD loads fine and I can run the tests, but every windows install cd hangs the machine. a Minimal linux distro loads fine too.

I had tryed safe mode, currently the hard disk is brand new but the install cd freeze in the same place.

So there is no OS installed on the system? Is there a recovery partition on the hard drive? Have you tried reinstalling the system from it? – Leonardo Nov 27 '09 at 7:57
