I have an older DC5750 small form factor PC that ran ubuntu for a long time until I started getting issues with freezing and thought maybe the hard drive was going bad as it had done the same thing in a different computer.

So I decided to install Windows 7 on it and I cannot get past the segment of the install where the computer should be restarting to finish. It hangs at the blue wallpaper screen and wont restart or I get a blue screen before it even gets that far.

So then I decided to try and put XP back on it using the disc that came with the computer originally. Same thing happens, I get an error code about a problem with a 0 on line something or other... i dunno. Anyway, what in the world would be causing the computer to keep kicking the install to a blue screen?
