Usually the cache etc isn't the problem. And it appears isn't in this case. Turn them back on.

Remove all hardware (or if onboard turn off in the BIOS). You should have mouse, keyboard, video card only. Try installing now. If still no luck get another video card just for the install. If the keyboard / mouse are USB change it to PS/2 if both computer and mouse support it. Then disable USB in the BIOS too.
 
Hello Angela,

Windows Xp takes roughly about 1 to 3 hours to install. If I'm right you
might have a problem with you hard disk.

You should ask a Computer Technician to come over and check your hard disk
out. This has nothing to do with Windows XP.

Regards,
Jose Francisco

You are having hardware or driver problems.
But for your question XP should install in about
40 minutes. It takes me about 6 hours to install XP --
install drivers -- update -- install applications --
transfer the data from backup.
