vista wont install no setup menu

First of all my system specs: Asrock 939-Dual Sata II AMD Athlon X2 3800+ Kingston 2048 DDR PC3200 Sapphire X800 XT PE Western Digital 120 GIG (IDE) Maxtor Diamond 12 200GIG (SATA) SB Audigy 2 NEC 2500A DVD/RW
Im installing windows vista to a formatted, primary partition on a IDE Drice (the western digital one
The problem: I insert the DVD, reboot my system. Systems says press key to start setup. I press spacebar. The bar with loading windows files appears.. all goes well. Then when 100& the bar switches to a vista/xp grey loading bar. Then i come in to the blue (aurora) wallpaper/background image.
Now, the menu (where you can select dropdown, press next etc) doesnt appear. The screen stays at the bg, at hangs (no num lock response) after bout 15 mins. Ive waited for 2 hours, still no result.
Problem case 2; install through xp Install through XP works fine, untill it needs to reboot your system. I come at the blue aurora background, with the text: windows installing files. Then after 15 mins my pc hangs. (no numlock response) waited 2 hours again, no result..
DVD is fine: I installed Vista on my laptop using the same DVD as the one using on my desktop!
What Ive tried: Disconnecting the SATA drive (all through im installing on the IDE disk) Switching primary hdd/primary cd/dvd drives. Tried other DVD drive (which allso is a NEC drive)
Anyone got a solution? I saw some other peeps with same problem, no solutions!

If you have your processor overclocked, I would go back to normal speed. Vista crashed often on mine even though XP Pro was stable. Mine finally crashed to the point it would not reboot and forced a reinstall with the processor not overclocked. Vista is up and running stable now. My install is dual boot on an IDE drive with a separate partition for Vista. Hope this helps.

I'm not overclocking, but will underclock it to try. Wil post results. Im getting a BSOD after moving the mouse for a little while (in the aurora screen) now. It says: STOP: 0x0000009c (0x00000004, 0x8137c3c0, 0xB2000000, 0x00070f0f)
