Freeze during (any) installation

Hi folks :)

 

I just got in this game and want to give it a shot. :D

---

My specs:

 

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 - 3500+

Motherboard: Asus A8N-E

Hard drive: (Several, but the one I want to install Mac on) Samsung SpinPoint T166 500 GB SATA

Graphic Card: nVidia GeForce 6800GT

---

 

Well, the story goes:

 

I got two versions of Mac..

Uphuck - 10.4.9

iAtkos v.1.0i - 10.5.1

 

But I got the same problem in both installations. At a certain point the installation freeze! First I tried with the Uphuck version, and it kept freezing, sometimes when I entered disc utility and was formatting, sometimes during the installation when the progressbar is displayed, apparently at the same spot.

When I decided to try the iAtkos, I downloaded the image and noticed after the download that it was Intel ONLY! :unsure: But after a closer look, I found the installation guide for iAtkos image on AMD prosessors. So I followed the instructions and guess what... it keeps on freezing too! It drives me mad :blink:

 

So I tried burning the image on a slower speed and with another burningprogram (first Nero - then Imgburner) - but still the same problem at the same point of the installation... I'm burning with DVD +R

 

What could it be??? The DVD Reader?

 

Greetings

Hey, seems you're not the only one.. I've got the same problem as you. And a friend of mine also has.

Sometimes at the progress bar it freezes, and can't even open my dvd-drive. so i rebooted, and tried again, but now i got further, till disk utility, and again, freeze.

Anyone got an answer?
