computer still hangs, i'm stumped!

[dapbmw]

i replaced the ram with a known good one, did a memtest86 v 1.30 test on the old ram and it is ok, i also removed the network card. this computer does not have any other hardware installed aside from the floppy, cd-rom drive and hdd.

i even tried installing it with w2k server and w2k advance server and still no luck. what i did notice was that the computer always hanged/frozed on the same part of the install, "performing final tasks" exactly at the "registers components" portion. so what could be wrong with the computer?

Just for yucks and grins, try a different processor and/or motherboard if available.
