Why does CentOS 6 installation hang during hardware initialization?

I'm trying to install CentOS 6 on a computer with the following parameters:
Intel I7 4930K processor
Msi X79A-GD65 (8D)
board MSI R9 290X GAMING 4G video card
KHX18C10AT3K2/16X 4*8 gig memory Hard drives
:
Kingston HyperX 3K SH103S3/120G installed Linux Mint 17
Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 nothing installed.
WD VelociRaptor WD1000DHTZ 2 disks are mounted in raid 1 using the built-in Intel raid in the motherboard. I'm trying to install CentOS 6 on it
During installation, as soon as the process reaches the initialization of the iron, the process does not go further. At first I thought that I needed time, I left it for the night, nothing changed in the morning.
I tried to disable the raid in the BIOS, so that during installation I can mount the software raid and install the OS there, but the problem remains the same.

What can I say, put centos 7
there, the kernel is fresher and I think this will solve the issue with hardware, since you obviously do not have it from the most compatible list for centos

Let's diagnose
1) disconnect all drives, run the installation, see where it goes
2) disconnect one memory bar, see where it goes
3) remove the video card, see where it goes. (the i7 seems to have a built-in one :)
If step 1 goes well, the problem may be in the drivers for the mother's RAID controller.

LiveCD tried to run on this hardware?
Have you tried installing anything else from linux? Debian for example.
