do u have another computer? remove the hard disk, use the other computer, and hook it up as a slave drive, back up whatever you want to back up, then unhook it, and reformat as usual.
it could be a hardware problem with your system or monitor.

Just be patient and wait, or temporary detach unnecessary devices before installation. If you need the data from the hard disk urgently, you may want to take dumbdumb's suggestion.
