The BIOS output in the screenshot says it's 64 bit as are all modern processors.
Try wiping the HD first with Diskpart Clean command: SSD - HDD Optimize for Windows Reinstallation
Reset the BIOS to defaults: Clear CMOS - 3 Ways to Clear the CMOS - Reset BIOS
While in BIOS setup set SATA controller to AHCI if available. Set DVD drive to boot first, then HDD.
Then follow these same steps to Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7.
If it still fails, try testing the HD with maker's HD Diagnostic extended CD scan, followed by testing RAM - Test with Memtest86+ for 5-6 passes or overnight.
If laptop is overheating try to clean out the dust as best as is possible:

You're welcome. Let us know how it goes.
It didn't work it displays this message
When does the error show exactly? Is this during an attempted Clean Install where you've booted the DVD to install on a wiped HD as suggested?
If so the issue is likely a bad installer. Confirm the ISO or download the latest to burn to DVD or write to stick using the methods given here: Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7
During the installing update part it showed this message..I did wipe..and everything else
Where did you get the ISO file? How was it burned to DVD?
Ok guys it worked and I am up and running windows 7..activated and everything
