That error often correlates with a hardware problem.  I would make sure that all of the parts are seated correctly and firmly.  Try installing with only 1 stick of memory.  Make sure the video card is seated and powered correctly, the hard drive connections are sound etc.   If none of that works you might have to swap out parts to figure out the problem.  Do you have an extra computer around that you can install the hard rive in to make sure it is formatted and partitioned correctly?
