Did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
If you used a CD/DVD did you burn it slowly and did you check the CD for defects once booted to?
Did you test your RAM?

I loaded windows and everything loading correctly. It shows proper ram and no issues. The DVD was burned slow and I have used it on 3 other computers. I do not know what a md5 test is... Hope this helps.

The RAM tester will thoroughly test the RAM.
