blank.i

my windows xp bootable cd on booting shows "press any key to continue.... setup is inspecting....." after that the screen goes blank.i tried my friend's xp cd also with same results.please help me.

In chip they gave Xandros desktop linux distro.I tried that and when the instal process starts it loads the linux kernel,detects hardware and so on thyen goes blank.I have always had problem with my nvidia and my monitor`s low horz refresh rate.[/i]
