Basically every time i try it gets so far and my pc just freezes (no dvd or HDD activity. Cursor wont move). i have even left the install over night in case it unfreezes.

I have removed all usb, including keyboard and mouse (using old ps2 ones)
Please help, im now out of ideas.
Is it worth trying to take the Dvds back to the shop?
