    Unless you plan to upgrade the RAM to at least 4gb, I'd use 32 bit for only 2 gb RAM to get better performance: Win7 Home Premium x86 SP1 English Official ISO download written to stick with Windows 7 USB-DVD Download Tool.

    Work through the steps to Troubleshoot Windows 7 Installation Failures - Windows 7 Help Forums.

    Be sure to set hard drive as first to boot in BIOS setup, then trigger the stick using one-time BIOS Boot menu key, so it won't start the install over at reboot. If so, unplug it.

    You did not change the boot order in the bios did you ?

    When booting from a usb stick you use the 1 time boot key to bring up the boot menu and only choose the usb stick the first time, after it re boots the hard drive will then take over and finish the install.

    You should have boot with USB as a first option.
    You can put it back to HDD after you finish your installation.

    sandravlado, if you put the usb stick as the 1st option in the bios, it will just keep restarting the install over and over again.

    There is no need to change it in the bios.

    Terry, tell us exactly how you prepared the usb stick. That could be your issue.

    The Troubleshoot Windows 7 Installation Failures steps I gave you resolve 90% of install problems. So if you're using the ISO and the tool to write to stick I provided then start working through those steps.
