Can’t install OS from bootable drive onto new SSD

I’ve just installed a brand new SSD on my Core 2 Duo and every time i try to install snow leopard from a bootable drive or cd, the computer crashes about halfway through. Is the computer just toast? I’ve verified and formatted the drive so I don’t think it’s any problem with the SSD.

Answer this question I have this problem too

First, please tell us the exact SSD you got.
