It is a hardware error of some type.
either defective hardware or a conflict.
Try removing all essential hardware and try running setup again
Other things to try:
Run a RAM test
try setting the bios to defaults
see this
http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp
you should run a RAM test
and if any faults are found, the RAM should be replaced
the test should be run for at least several hours...
but may of course be stopped with the first error found
otherwise just go ahead and try different RAM that's known to bo good
