Windows Install Fails

I have a Dell Inspiron n5110, 64 bit, and am trying to upgrade windows 7 to Windows 8. So far I have tried all of these things:

updated my computer

Ran a security scan

Ran the system readiness tool

Disabled antivirus software

Removed unused user accounts

Disconnected external hardware

Clean Boot

Used regular admin account

Windows 8 install always fails at "Your computer will restart in a few moments" after it gets to 90%. How do I fix this?
