I have experienced this issue before, though it has been quite a
while. I runs in my mind that it involves your Network card. Try
removing it and then restarting. I believe the system misidentified
your lan card and installed the wrong driver... and then it locks
when trying to install the driver for it.
Like I said, it has been a while on this one and I may be off base...
but, it cannot hurt to try.
