PC locks up on "Starting Windows" during install

[ThePiston]

I just built my friends a new PC and when I boot from XP CD all the files are installed, but then the PC hangs on "Now starting Windows" I have to hold the power button for 6 seconds.

Here's the PC stats:
abit kt7a non-raid
256ram
WD HDD 40G
new bios
