Unable to reformat/install Windows 7 AND Vista , Blackscreen AND BSOD
Hello , iv been trying to build a new comp because my other one blew up ( too much heat and CPU died ) So i bought new CPU (Intel, cant remember the name exactly because its new ) and new motherboard ASUS. Hardrive and DVD rom is already used, no video card/network.
So i set up everything , the computer starts very well.
Since the hardrive is already used, i reformated it using windows 7. The installation is a succes and windows loads. I realize i have no internet connection ( im using the onboard connection ) So i install the onboard connection using the motherboard CD drivers , realtek LAN one, and it works. I have now internet. I do a reboot just to be sure it works fine. And then heres my problem :
Windows will load to Windows Logo screen and reboots by itself. I run it another time and i get the screen where it asks to choose load Windows normally , safe mode or CMD. So i pick normally and the same thing happens BUT that time i got a BSOD but no time to read it. I tried disabling the auto restart on errors in the BIOS to read the BSOD but still doesnt work. Rebooted another time, and now... The logo wont even show up and i get black screen, nothing loading. So i have no idea what the error is.
Im like okai whatever , imma reformat windows and put a fresh install. Heres my 2nd problem :
Windows 7 will not install completly , it will stop at ''Finishing installation'' and i get an error saying files in the windows instllation were damaged, corrupted and cannot complete. Windows 7 wont install now , no matter what i do , delete partitions , create new ones...etc.
Iv tried windows vista too.... exact same thing.
BUT Windows XP works... what the hell?
I believe the motherboard driver updates screwed up my BIOS or something like that. Iv tried changing the RAID and IDE settings in BIOS ( heard on other forums) but still dont work.
Or maybe it is my hardrive? should i use a new one since this one is a used one?
Is it my DVD rom that isnt reading/installing the files well?
What to do
plz help
