Installation won't complete

I have a fairly new Dell Inspiron laptop and purchased Windown 8 to install on it. It goes fine through the installation process and reboots like is says it will, but it stops doing anything once it reboots. All I get is a black screen. It has sat overnight and still nothing. I've tried 4 different times and the same thing happens every time. I am able to get it uninstalled and Windows 7 back, but what am I doing wrong?

Try running this MS tool
What is the System Update Readiness Tool?
this may help.

I've run that several times and it doesn't kick back any reason that it wouldn't install properly.

Try redownloading from the email link.

Try a upgrade install from the DVD:

or
Try a clean install.

Try uninstalling any security software ( if you have installed), even if it's MSE, any USB peripherals and see whether it helps.
