Choose the PEG for PCI-Express Graphics

I did. Nothing changed. It still crashed on welcome.

I got a question; what are Sata and Achi? I have some screen pop up everytime I run my computer saying would you like bios to use sata and achi ports or something like that? My SATA AHCI MODE is set to IDE instead of AHCI? What are these things?

Okay I'm offically pissed off.

Check in BIOS setup what your SATA controller setting is: AHCI or IDE mode?

Did you change it?

This could cause Win7 to become ubootable if it wasn't changed correctly to AHCI. If so, try changing it back to see what happens.

If you decide to clean reinstall, set SATA controller to AHCI first, then IDE mode if install fails.

I've done that many times. I do it, get on my desktop as soon as I install drivers its boom, freeze.

What drivers are you installing?

Did you read my earlier post? Use the drivers given by the installer and then quickly updated via optional Windows Updates. Only import drivers which are missing or in error in Device manager.

Importing a bunch of drivers into the most automated OS ever is like using using a hammer on a car's computer. XPired methods are not needed any longer with Win7.

I would back up my files, wipe the HD and clean reinstall following these steps to get a purrfect install so you don't have to do it again: re-install windows 7

Okay clean installing it now. Yeah I read what he wrote and I ment no matter what after the first time I restart it happens, however, I'll still give it a try.
