Computer shuts down during win 7 install

I'm doing a clean install of win 7 64 bit off of an official cd. Part of the install goes well. It gets to 100%, reboots, goes to a screen that says it's loading settings. Then it gets to the completing installation phase and always at the same time, it shuts down. I'll hear the CD stop in my computer, then five seconds later, the computer just shuts off and I'll hear a faint beep. There's no warning message on the screen first. If I turn it on again, Windows will give the error that it restarted during install and I'll have to start over.

There's no network connection while I do this. The temperatures are all within norms. Everything worked fine under XP a few hours prior. I ran a memory test that was fine. I sprayed the dust out.

Any ideas?

*edit* Fixed!
My boyfriend just played around and disabled/enabled a million things in the bios.
His best idea is some security setting he changed.

Magically, it got past that point and is working. I don't know what changed, but if anyone else has this shut down problem, I guess, fiddle with everything in the bios that can safely be changed?

A couple of things to try before you start randomly changing your BIOS.
Have you updated the BIOS?
Check if there is a newer version, if there is install it.

If you already have the current BIOS version, before changing too many things, set everything to defaults.

Any Over Clocking of the RAM, CPU or GPU?

Glad to hear you got the installation completed.

Thanks for letting us know your status.
