I had the same problem with an install of XP,it would boot so far then the hard drive would shut down for 3+mins. After some research I found out it my usb mouse. If nothing else works you may want to try unplugging all your usbs and reboot.

Well, if you're not able to provide anything more in the way of even slightly useful information, then we really can't do the same in return.

The best thing you can do right now, is read, read, read, and play around with your system.
