XP Pro installation stalls

I'm doing a clean install on my computer (I put in a new
motherboard and hard drive). It goes through the initial
setup processes just fine. Then, when it gets to the
actual setup page and starts installing devices, it either
freezes (the little green bars on the bottom stop) or it
looks like its working, but the timer on the side that
says "approximately X minutes left" never gets past 33
mins. Right before it stalls, the screen blanks out for a
second.

I'm looking for multiple kinds of ideas here. I have no
internet access at home and dont want to try one thing a
day and keep failing. I'm not too knowledgeable here, so
please explain in detail. Thanks!
 
Forgot to say that I had XP on my computer before, so I
know everything works with it. My system is also
receiving enough ventilation and cooling.
