Ok, I have a friend who is trying to install Windows on his own custom built computer. It's got the following:

AMD Duron 1.1ghz
256mb pc133 RAM
40gb wd hd
32x cd-rom
geforce 4 mx

We'll boot from the cd and the install will start to copy files for installation. It'll do the usual and ask for a third party controller card, or other various hardware (which he has none of). But once it gets to the end of copying, where it should restart and go into the setup, it just freezes. After about 60 seconds of sitting at the blue setup screen, it just goes black. So I restart manually thinking it will start the setup, but it gives me an error about a missing file. It freezes in the same spot with Windows 2K, and Windows XP.

Any ideas?
