Win 7 installed perfectly. But will not boot.

I am sorry for disappearing. My PSU seems to have some problem. When I press the power button, the PC starts, and i hear some weird noise from PSU fan (as if the fan is hitting something inside) and the PC shuts off in 10-sec. Since its out of warranty, I will be opening the PSU and check. WIll take a day or two. Will keep you guys posted about the Win7 performance once I get my PSU up and running. Please bear with me till then.

EDIT: My PSU failed. I have ordered a new one. Should be up by Monday.

Do remember to post back with an update.

Finally! My pc is up and running. After fixing the PSU, my mobo failed (probably due to a bad PSU). After replacing the mobo, my Win7 started working perfectly. Can a failing mobo cause booting problems in Win 7?

YES.

Glad to see you are up & running, well done.

Honestly, thanks to every member who helped me out. Feels so good to be on a flawless Win 7.

Fluctuating power levels can damage or kill a mobo.
