Windows 7 Install problem

This is really weird. My new build when i try and install windows with 4gb ram it has errors and seems to say that some files are missing that are needed for the install but if i remove a stick of ram and install with 2gb it seems to work. Anyone got any ideas as to why that is?

Cant get it to install at all now, think the disk might be dodgy rather than the ram

Ill try win xp now, but with win 7

First time got to 31% then failed
2nd time got to 61% then failed
3rd time got to 98% then blue screen and said error was with Cache_Manager i think

Ill see how win xp goes

Blue screened with windows xp starting setup. The only time i have successfully installed windows was when using the stock cooler, when using my magahalems ive never been able to install an OS, it seems very strange but could this be the problem?

I updated the bios to most recent, and everything seems absolutely perfect. Win 7 installed without a hitch. and ive just used core temp and real temp to check temps, im getting 15 degrees idle and only 40 under 100% load, this is with magahalems, 2 apaches in push pull in an antec 1200 with the side pannel off. Does this seem too low ? or could these temps be accurate?
