Windows 7 Installation Issue

Tried each suggestion and none work at the moment. I've even swapped the ram from both computers around and still the same issue. I feel it's something to do with the Nforce 630a chipset or the inbuilt Nvidia Geforce 7050 graphics.

I've tried installing on the aforementioned amd machine for a while. I've nothing against Amd as I've owned numerous AMD/Intel machines , but my experiences so far trying to install Windows 7 on that AMD platform mean my next build will not be AMD.

I'm going to remove my graphics card from my Intel Rig and try that in my AMD Build when I re-attempt a Windows 7 installation again. I don't hold out much hope of it working but I may as well give it a go later in the week. I just get the impression that the machine is cursed.

Cheers to all for help so far.

AMD's sorta built for 64 bit nowadays... perhaps you could go that route? It's pretty hard to distinguish which piece of the puzel is failing...

try a few things:
take out all your RAM except for one stick,
disconnect all your hard drives except the one your installing to
If you have another processor or board laying around that will fit your current configuration, switch those out also. Win7 might be addressing a bad component that the other OS's were able to workaround.

hope this helps...

Still cannot get Windows Seven to install at all on this damned machine. I have tried all the numerous suggestions but to no avail. Updated Bios also but never got through windows 7 setup.

The setup screen goes as far as letting you decide whether it's an upgrade or clean install. Then it goes about it's business until a certain point where it blue screens with a usb mode error or occasionally a memory dump.

At no point does 7 setup get as far as the stage where you enter username details etc.

I have downloaded Iso's for both 32 and 64 Bit windows 7 and have numerous times burned DVd's. I have burned at numerous speeds and still can't get it to install past the stage it gets to. This is using both 7100 and 7000 releases.

This problem installing occurs whether it's a upgrade install or clean install.

I'll peruse that link and see if their any steps I am missing out whilst installing. Any of the burned Iso's work perfectly fine in my Intel machine. Always installs fully without issue.

I'll download another couple of Iso's from the official windows 7 site and burn them on the slowest speed possible. But have not been able to successfully install this operating system on my Amd Rig up to this point. If it was a badly burned disc surely it would not install on the intel build either.

I've little hair as it is, so another couple of attempts installing on this Amd build will not lose me anymore hair.

Check ur hashes.

How do you check the hashes, I have a rough idea that it's about the integrity of the downloaded iso file. Surely though if it was a corrupted download it would not install on the Intel Rig I have working with no issues.

HashTab... is the coolest thing ever!

After u DL it and install you'll see it in the properties menu if u right clic on a finished torrent or DL'ed file and choose properties and then "file hashes". You can then compare the hash u have for the DL to one that is deemed correct.
