Problem looks like issue between the source (USB/dvd holding win7 files) and destination (HDD) or motherboard sata controller.
It's now a new system -- the only old parts are the HDD and PS and case.

I just remounted the CPU and checked the temperature, it goes up to 49C, so well below max op temp of 60C.
I also adjusted some of the RAM settings in the bios to go with what was on the RAM labels.
The motherboard also seems fine, the diagnostic LEDs read FF which is supposed to be A-OK.

Gonna go grab an all-new HD from the store later to see if anything changes. Argh.
