    Where did you get Win7? Did you burn it yourself? Try burning another DVD using ImgBurn at 4x speed.

    Or try install install using USB flash stick: How to: install Windows (any version from XP to Win7) from a USB/flash drive | Featured | dotTech

    Remove all but 2gb of Ram to try install. Test your RAM using memtest86 CD for 5-6 passes or overnight.

    Wipe the HD before install using this method: SSD / HDD : Optimize for Windows Reinstallation
    Test the HD using maker's diag/repair full CD scan: http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=287
    From the WIn7 DVD Command Line run Disk Check

    Reset the CMOS: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixthe.../clearcmos.htm Try setting SATA controller in BIOS setup to AHCI, then IDE mode.
