Severely unhappy PC dislikes installling Windows7
Morning Everyone,
I am having an usually difficult time installing Windows on my upgraded PC. I replaced my motherboard, CPU and ram last night and spent hours pulling my hair out.
I have built tons of systems over the years, and although the few I have done with RAID arrays can be a lilttle finicky, I have never had this type of issue...
Upon installing on a new RAID-0 partition on a pair of SSD's, Windows installer begins, gets to the flying icon screen, then locks solid.
I have adjusted every setting in the BIOS I can think of. The computer place I bought the gear from benched all the hardware together and it ran amazingly for them.
This is the equipment I'm using:
~ Asus Maximus V Extreme motherboardAny advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
~ G.Skill TridentX Series 16GB PC3-19200 Dual Channel DDR3 Kit (2 x 8GB)
~ Intel i7 - 3770K CPU
~ stock CPU cooler for now
~ MSI Twin Frozr III 4GB GDDR5
~ 2 Corsair Force Series GT Solid State Drives
~ Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
