WINDOWS 7 Installation fails

I have a PC (Windows XP) with 2 GB RAM, Pentium 4 (3,2 GHz Dual Core) and 22,5 GB free disk space (on C: ) and when I try to install Windows 7 (from scratch), the installation fails.
When Windows starts loading files and before (or sometimes after I get the prompt for the Time&Date or Language configuration), either the screen freezes and I can do nothing or I get a blue screen with the following error:
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR EQUAL
STOP: 0x0000000A (0x983FFF0, 0x00000002, 0x00000001, 0xBCB094B).

Does anyone know what can be the problem?
I've updated the BIOS Firmware, I've unplugged any USB device or I have disabled from BIOS the build-in Network card or Sound card but without success.
I'm really desperate because I don't know what else to do and what this problem can be.

Re: WINDOWS 7 Installation fails

Did you run the Windows 7 adviser before running the Windows 7 set up on your computer? Run the Adviser program first on the computer before starting installation of Windows 7. It is available on the official Microsoft site. Also check the installation disk as it may be faulty and creating problems while installation.

I've installed and run the the Windows 7 adviser and the results were OK concerning the minimum requirements.

This installation disk has been used for an other installation to a Laptop.
