Hi im a newbie so help me please. Ive been trying to install windows 7 onto my system and im having problems as it gets to "completing instalation" it just stalls i think it may be my motherboard. I removed all USB devices prior to this stage as was advised by someone else and it did get me further than id ever been before but then after that it just stalls again. My motherboard is gigabyte ex58-ud3r intel x58 (socket 1366) pci-express DDR3 (mb-159-gi) please help me!!
Welcome!
Taken from my post https://www.sevenforums.com/installat...-problems.html. Take a look, you may find something else that works for you.Disconnect all unnecessary hardware from the system. This includes hard drives, video cards, USB devices, and expansion cards. Remove all but one stick of RAM.
Use the VGA output on your card if possible.
These problems can also be caused by bad RAM. Run a memory diagnostic overnight, using Memest86 or something similar.
If nothing above works, you may have bad installation media. What condition is the disc in? Verify your copy of Windows came from a reputable source. Try burning a new DVD, using the slowest speed possible.
Does the monitor go blank when it stalls out?
If so, this is common when drivers are being installed and a video card or tv tuner card are outputted to another screen, t.v. or monitor.
