ok, you say youre o/c, right? i assume that you have a proper cooling system so your pc doesnt restart with the heat. have you tried underclocking your system to a stable number (1 ghz, right?) and try installing.

hope it works, Apu

Also if you go to my computer\properties\advanced\startup & recovery you can untick automatically restart. From memory you will then get a box telling you what is going on or you could look at the system log but I don't know where it is stored.
