It looks like hardware error.

Disconnect any other devices except the keyboard, mouse, and the hard drive + DVD drive. Try to install.

Next step. Try using a different hard disk.

Next, try a different CD.

Next, try a different CD drive.

You will find the solution. Go in steps.

There is a potential answer to your query in Windows forum and the likely problem they are stating an "hardware error pertaining to your computer's BIOS" might be the root cause
