    Attempting to clean install W7 pro on Dell I7 5758


    I have a NEW Dell I7 5758 with W8.1 on the HDD. I’ve installed a new HDD and am attempting to install W7 PRO on that new drive. DVD spins, loads fine, says “starting Windows” and then freezes. Tried 4 times. I did turn off security boot in the BIOS. Ideas?

Good people of Seven Forums, The last two days have been Geek Hell for me. I finally upgraded everything in my system, and to naturally take advantage of my 16GB's of DDR3 RAM (Oh joy, oh redundant joy!) I wanted to install Win7 64Bit Pro which I got from my college and have burned on a CD,...
