BSOD during clean install
I did a search but could not find a post about this exact error
I'm trying to do a clean install of Windows 7 Home Premium (full) on a Dell Dimension 9200 desktop that currently has no OS (it had XP but a file in system32 is corrupt and it won't run). The setup goes normally, but about a minute after it reboots at the "completing installation" stage, my computer stops making noise and it seems to idle at this screen for about five minutes, then I get a blue screen for about a half of a second (not long enough to even see what the error is) then my computer reboots again. After this, it shows the windows 7 load screen, then I just get a black screen that lasts as long as I leave my computer on.
My computer's specs are:
Core 2 Duo 2.13 ghz processor
2 x 2 GB DDR2 667 mhz RAM
BFG Nvidia Geforce 9800 GTX+ OC
I've tried disconnecting all unnecessary hardware, as well as deleting my old partition and creating a new one and formatting it.
Thanks in advance
