    So have you managed to install now?

    And you cant upgrade install from xp to 7, you need to do a a clean install.

    Welcome Texture.
    One thing that might help is for you to fill out your system specifications with the model number
    of the Dell that you have, along with memory and such. Then an intelligent answer to your question
    can be gotten.

    The two most likely culprits at this point are:

    1) Wipe your HD of all code from the Installation DVD first: SSD / HDD : Optimize for Windows Reinstallation

    2) If that doesn't work, remove all but 2gb of RAM to try install.

    Once you wipe the HD, if using Upgrade version you'll need to leave the Product Key blank during install then afterwards do the quick registry edit here to activate Upgrade version on cleaned HD: Clean Install with a Upgrade Windows 7 Version

    Test your RAM using memtest86 CD for 5-6 passes to be certain it's good as you may have a bad stick: RAM - Test with Memtest86+

    Try to add the RAM one stick at a time, try also swapping RAM slots.
