Hello. I built a new computer. All is good, except for when i try and install windows. Everytime i have to reformat the drive before windows will install it gets to 4% and the picture disappears but the computer keeps running. I suspected it was a problem with the graphics card, so i changed that for another one to see if it would make any difference, it doesnt

Im really stuck for ideas on this. Any suggestions (or a solution) would be brilliant.

Comp specs
- Gigabyte GV-3D1 with GA-K8NXP-SLI. Geforce Dual 6600GT Chip 256MB Graphics Accelerator bundled with GA-K8NXP-SLI motherboard
- AMD (Winchester) Athlon 64bit 3200+ 939pin 512kb L2cache 90nm Retail Boxed Processor
- Maxtor 6B200M0 Diamondmax 10 200GB 7200rpm Serial ATA150 8mb Cache - Oem
- Corsair (VS1GBKIT400C3) 1024MB (2 x 512MB Matched Pair), DDR400 / PC3200, non-ECC, Unbuffered, CL3, Memory Modules

Many thanks
