W7 install problems
I bought a 64 bit HP a6600f a few weeks ago, and decided to install Windows 7 in place of the existing Vista. I have installed W7 on two of my other computers on the first try and no problems, but with this machine I have downloaded the ISO at least 10 times, and have burned through 7 DVDs and tried the bootable USB three times. The DVDs have never even booted up, while the USB method will install, but when the machine reboots the first time, after the windows logo appears on the boot up screen, the hard drive will shut off and the machine will reset, and continue that cycle until I power down completely. FRUSTRATING! Tips on how to rectify this?
