I think I found the solution to your problem. Your hardware is having trouble with the ACPI power management. When the graphical install is about to begin, there will be a place where you normally just hit enter, but could also type in some options. There, enter "LINUX ACPI=OFF" without the quotes.
Hope that's right, give it a shot. I found someone else with a compaq who had the same trouble, they fixed it with this.
