Installing ME

I tried reinstalling ME. Reached the point of installing drivers and the pc quite responding. Message stated to turn pc off and then reboot. Same thing happened. So then I tried rebooting without the CD being installed and I got the same screen-just as if the CD was installed. Tried going into safemode and restoring a previous registry. No previous registry saved. Any help.
