Wont install

[Guest]

I want to install a fresh copy of Windows XP Professional on my home
computer. I am doing a boot install, i get the blue screens when i press any
key to boot from CD.... but when it says 'setup is starting windows' my whole
computer freezes, i have tried several CDs and i have done this many a time
before!?!?!?!

What could be wrong?

thanks for your help
