Install issue with SQL Server 2005 Enterprise

I am having a really hard time installing SQL Server 2005 Enterprise
Edition. My server definitely meets the hardware requirements of the
server. The server OS is Windows 2003 Enterprise R2. The problem
occurs during setup. After checking my system configuration, it goes
to the window that generates a list of items it is going to install (I
believe). Here, as soon as it starts generating the list, it freezes
the whole server and then shuts down. It does this every single time.
Any thoughts or suggestions?First thing, check the setup log files in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\LOG\Files for where the setup failed and for any
error info.

I am at a complete loss here. Everything is great until it does the
System Configuration Check. Then it just suddenly freezes the whole
server and I have to do a hard reboot.

on 2003 Standard R2 and it installed without any problems. Very odd.
