    Install hangs with black screen and watermark only


    As the title explains, I have a new HTPC I built with the following equipment.

    Motherboard: Intel DG45ID Socket 775 Motherboard
    CPU: Intel Pentium Dual Core E2200 2.2Gh
    Memory: Kingston 4096MB PC6400 DDR2 800MHz (2x2048)

    I have a 500gb with three primary partitions

    100gb XP Pro
    100gb (for win 7)
    rest for data

    Using a booting USB and selecting clean install, the install completes mostly, it reboots a few times like normal. When it should be time to enter the key, the screen is completely black *except* for the Windows 7 watermark.

    Are there any known issues with this board and the on-board graphics chip?

    Can anybody recommend a HDMI card to drive my Plasma Display that has good 7 support?

    Thanks !

    Solved:
    Make sure the second hdmi monitor is unplugged when installing
