Did you verify the checksum on the file ?

Now, what we don't know, is if that is the actual checksum of
the MSDN supplied ISO or not.

As "Mechanic" points out, it's an NX problem.

The NX feature, only seemed to be enforced by the Release Preview
or later.

If you boot the computer using an existing OS, then start the
setup from the Windows 8 DVD, it will report

"Your CPU is not compatible"

In which case, you enter the BIOS, in the processor setup section,
and check for "NX" or XD" setting and enable it.
