Windows 7 install problem
So I got a bunch of new parts, but when I go to load Windows 7 Pro, it will not load up.
Asus P7P55D Deluxe - updated BIOS to current 2003
CPU - Intel Core I7 870
Corsair Dominator memory - 2 x 2GB = 4GB total
EVGA GT 240 video card - in top blue slot
PSU - Corsair 750W
HDD - 2 Seagate 7200.10 in RAID1
CD/DVD drive - Samsung
In the BIOS I set the RAID, cd/DVD as first boot, RAID drives 2nd and I have turned off the sound, LAN and Firewire for now. I then went and created the RAID1 using the Ctrl+I and it says the array is good
I put the Windows 7 full install disc in the cd/dvd drive, install begins. First there is a bar at the bottom which then reaches the end, then another shows up and does the same thing, reaches the end. The I see the "Starting Windows" pop up and as those small little color balls appear and start becoming the flag, they freeze and my whole system freezes. Even the keyboard. I read that this board has 4 lights that if an error occurs the light will light up for the following;
CPU
Memory
VGA
SATA
So I am wondering if anyone else has had this issue?
I also wanted to add that these two drives were in another machine and they were RAID'd as RAID0. I did delete the RAID before installing into this system. I also did a format on each drive separately to make sure, again, prior to installing in to the new system.
Anything I can provide in more details, please let me know. Does anyone know what is going on with why it does this? I am a novice so details would be a plus for me.
Thanks
