8.10 install stops

[DUDE_2000]

Ive been trying to install 8.10 intrepid on my computer for a while now, but at around 62% completion of install (live cd), it logs but and appears to be trying to shut down. After a while of this, it gives me an error message like (I cant remember exactly): "X has restarted more than 6 times in the last (some amount of time). It is recommended to wait at least 2 minutes before you try again."

I reboot and get Grub Error 17 (I tried again without installing a bootloader and got Grub error 15)

Can anyone help me solve this problem?
