Then I'd have to say you almost certainly have a hardware issue. It's hard to say what issue it would be, though, if it just freezes on install - it is likely one of the problems I listed earlier, but could be almost anything.
If it is an old laptop, I wouldn't even bother having someone look at it unless it's someone you know who'll do it for free, as fixing laptops is expensive because they all have different and non-interchangeable parts, and if it's old a new laptop is usually a better idea. If it's newer, like I said see if you can get it fixed under warranty.
If it's a Dell or HP or something similar, you can usually call their hotline for free even it's out of warranty, and they might have some ideas, although it depends on if you get someone useful on the line, or a doofus - and it's about 50/50 which one, even when you're on their business support lines that technicians get to access.
