I'm not familiar with the mother board that you're using, but one thing
I noticed, you're trying to load the version that's for 64 bit
processors. Are you sure your processor is 64 bit,instead of 32bit?
If you're running a 32 bit processor, alot of times the version for them
is named "something,something, I586, something,something".
Something else to consider too, there's always the chance that the dvd
drive might be going bad. If the 64bit version is the correct version
for you, you might want to try inserting a different cd or dvd drive,
and see if you have any better luck that way.
Hope that helps
Jim
