Boot in another OS and download/run the Solaris device detection tool.
That should tell you what's not recognised.

minimize the system. Lose the network card, lose the SSD, run with one
memory module (if it still freezes, try the other memory module).
Disable everything on the motherboard not needed for a minimal system
(disable floppy,unused ide, usb, firewire,serial/parallel port(s),
audio). Disable any kind of processor frills such as speed
throttling. Try a different video card. Try a different power supply.
Don't even plug in a mouse if you don't need it to get through the
install.
