Cant install 64bit but 32bit works fine
Hello, i am a newbie to this forum, so if i leave any relevant info out apologies in advance.
I have recently built a new htpc (i listed all specs) all the hardware i purchased was brand new. i had win xp and tried to upgrade to win 7 64bit but kept getting blue screened, so then i tried win 7 32-bit , this worked fine, so then i tried to upgrade from win 7 32 bit to 64 bit and it didn't work. so i bought an oem version of windows 7 64-bit, thinking that it was a upgrade issue(32-bit to 64 bit), and sold the upgrade package, to my dissmay i cannot install windows 7 64-bit on my pc i keep getting different blue screen errors. So what have i done to try and fix it. Tried installing on different hard drives, tried installing in safe mode(i get quite far in safe mode right up until it has to re-boot) Flashed the bios, disabled caching, tried different video adapters -HDMI, VGA DVI (same graphics card), tried repairing it using the install disk, Reset all the hardware to ensure it is in properly. I think the problem is a driver but not sure which one, i know the hardware works as i can run win xp and 7 32-bit - but i need win 7 64-bit. Please help thanks
