OK, compatibility check passed (including BIOS).
Removed all external devices.
Power saving/sleep disabled.
Don't know how to copy the CD to the HDD and install from there.
That's the one thing I've not adhered to.
Partitions deleted, re-partitioned and formatted each time. (ie start from absolute zero each time).
BIOS defaults used for an attempt at installation of XP.
BIOS defaults, plus anti virus and power saving/sleep mode removed. Repeat attempt at installing XP.
No success. It still blanks the monitor part way through "Installing Windows" and refuses to go any further, despite a very long wait (2 hours each attempt). To amplify upon my initial post this occurs at about two thirds of the way through the subsection "Installing Devices".
