Win 7 64 bit Black screen of death?
hello,
new to here, ok sorry for the confusion i had good old internet explorer just close every window on me while writing this problem. so i am trying to install windows 7, everything goes fine...i get to the last check mark and it is completing installation, then my screen goes black. Just BLACK. it's the computer problem of my life, i can't even begin to know what the real problem is. windows support says it's probably a hardware device.
i am unfortunately running vista right now, and i have ran Ubuntu on this desktop without any problems. it is a custom build, so i know enought to put it together, just not enough to know the fine details of the drivers world. so i am stumped. i have let the Black screen sit for hours and nothing happend (to make sure it was or was not installing) i have to reset, if i do and let it boot normally, i get a windows logo and then black screen again. if i go into safe mode, it will tell me windows cannot complete installation and needs restart, thus looping over and over. i am going to try using another copy of win 7 to see if my disc is corrupted, otherwise i really have no idea. any help would be great.
oh and my specs are
intel core duo wolfdale 3.0 ghz
8 gigs DDR2 ram (4 currently as i was told to take some out might help)
(2)GIGABYTE 9800GTX+ graphics SLI(i have used drivers from CD and from internet no joy)
WD 500 GB hard drive
EVGA 750i SLI Mobo
