unplug all components, except cd, hdd, video card and ram. try to install the os. if you have success, try to add components one at a time to find out what causes the problem.

well a little over a year later, my wife's sister's laptop had the same original problem. Luckily I found a solution without having to resort to re-installing windows. I used CCleaner, and under the advanced section, I had everything checked except hotfix uninstallers and custom files and folders. ran the cleaner. Afterwards restarted and the explorer started fine with the desktop showing up fine as well.
