Many BIOSes have a menu choice to "Set Failsafe Parms" or something similar. This will apply very conservative values for things like memory refresh, wait states, bus clock rates, etc. It could be that this allows you to get installed, and then later you can experiment with tweaking certain parts for better performance.
I've had this once as a memory problem A20 handler - too fast - ISounds like you could have a hardware problem. Check your memory and your HD.
You can use memtest86 to test your memory (failure in memtest86 also can mean bad cpu I think) - not sure how to test the integrity of your hard drive.
