Have you tried doing a factory restore on your previous Windows installation and then doing it on a completely new factory reset PC?
Yea did that thing too.
But still with the same problem

Have you tested the health of your hard drive ?
Ran a scan of the drive surface, checking for bad sectors ?
Have you checked the tightness of the hard drive ?
Have you tried reseating the RAM ?
It does seem like a hardware/driver problem.
i Will be checking the health using diagnostic tools from WD.
scan ?? like what kind of & through which software ??
i havent opened it the case.
The RAM is 4GB, i t came defualt with 2GB, but the vendor removed that 2GB & installed a new Transcend 4GB single module

This seems to be a common error with windows 7 as well as windows 8 and generally it's your RAM or Bios settings as far as I can see. Take the RAM out and make sure that it's seated properly (Try one module at a time and see if that get's you past this error.) Run a mem test and see what happens! What sort of RAM do you have, do you know? Also in the BIOS reset everything to default, if you are using AHCI reset this back and save again. Make sure that the RAM timings and Voltages are correct for the memory type that you have installed on the PC.

As above definitely make sure your BIOS is set to defaults and then set up to stock clocks / settings, no overclocking

Try installing under IDE mode for SATA devices (Can be switched back to AHCI later after installing the drivers).
Check you have the latest version of your BIOS installed - many are releasing updates for Windows 8 compatibility (especially Dell and HP).
i also tried switching to IDE, but still the same problem

The BIOS setting is default, i just flashed a new updated version of BIOS from ACER.
I havent changed any settings since then.
There is also another version of BIOS {UEFI for Win 8} but that thing doesnt update, gives an error.
i think that it would be upgradable once i install win 8

Looks like you have a processor thay is older than the NX bit flag in Intel processors providing DEP protection. If so, you cannot install Windows 8 on systems with those processors. Verify your processor as this is similar to what will happen on install.
did not see the IRQ NOT LESS EQUAL, check memory if you can and hard disk. are you installing x32 or x64?
Not sure if he dimension line is numbered in line with the inspiron line, but I had to install 7 on an inspiron 8600. The Pentium M in it does not have the NX bit.
i am installing 32BIT version.
i also tried 64-bit version.
But same error.
Memory is Transcend 4GB single module
