Windows 7 will not restart on installation

I have just built a new PC with an msi z87-g45 gaming board, 8 GB of DDR3 memory, an intel core i5-4690k processor, Radeon HD7870 2GB GDDR5 pci3.0, a Seagate barracuda 2TB SATA lll HD split into 3 partitions an 850w Power Supply.
When I try to install Windows 7 pro x 64 it will not reboot to complete the installation can any one help me please. I have tried another HDD but same problem, I have tried the 2tb HDD in another PC that I have built and it installs windows 7 perfectly

Hey,

Do you have a little more information on the exact time the error occurs. Technically if it finished up to the point it needed to reboot but just did not reboot, if you manually restarted it would continue so i am assuming its not finish part of the initial setup?

I know i have had issues when i have had to remove some ram in my system (oddly enough... not really sure as to why) when installing windows 7. Try only using one stick if possible and see if you get further.

I removed one stick of ram when i switched on the computer windows 7 finnished the installation but will still not reboot so i have to force shut down then restart the pc tried swapping the ram but still same problem.

I have run memtest no problems
I have run Seagate HDD test no problems
I have run core test core #0 min 45 c max 55 c
core #1 min 45 c max 60 c
core #2 min 42 c max 59 c
core #3 min 43 c max 57 c

and windows 7 will not restart whilst on the initial install to get it to complete I have to force a shutdown
when ever it wants to restart the computer

Something may be wrong with your build. I would take it all back down to the mobo and then do it again making sure of your connections.

Try a flash stick install instead of DVD drive. If you are then try another flash stick or DVD. Make sure you wipe the HD from Overcoming tutorial I gave you.

Try another hard drive.

The problem was the motherboard it needed a bios update done that every thing works now, thank you for your help

Thanks for reporting back.
