Is there any specific reason you *need* to install this
release? You can try to use the current version (8.1, or
8.2 when available) which should run fine even on systems
with "lower specs".

Just try to install with the 8.1 first disc.

This should indicate that there seems to be something
at least problematic ("wrong") with the system you're
trying to install on.
