what are the specs of the computer. some old rigs can't take a hd over 8gb, though i doubt thats the problem.
do a googlesearch for memtest86 and run it on the rig in question. BSOd's during OS install generally point to failing hardware. the one time i got a bsod during an OS install i ended up with faulty ram.
also replace try replacing all the IDE cables and if you can check the voltages coming out othe psu. if the psu is dieing it can cause bsod's
