does it boot in safe mode?

Could be a faulty disc?
as i said above i have tried three ;)
you could try cleaning the disc?
i have tried three brand new discs
It must be the disc.
Just kidding (you must be getting stressed now :lol:)
It could be a memory problem.. try with some different sticks maybe?
