It's quite possible that your hdd is failing or about to fail especially because HPs tend to run hot anyway, but sometimes the install will freeze and can only be finished by starting over.
I have tried the clean install about 6 times now, Im pretty sure this has to be the HDD, especially since the OS stopped working completely which is why I decided to do the clean install...

Just got off the phone with HP.... "Hard Disk 1 Quick (303)" error message does indeed mean the disk has failed...
