    1) Make sure Windows Boot Manager is first boot device.

    2) Are booting the DVD in UEFI mode from Boot OverRide or One Time Boot Menu.

    I tried both and either way they freeze. I restet the bios to default and disabled fast boot snd secure boot. I burned the iso at 4x speed and the drive is showing up as a UEFI drive. I am booting from boot override and windows boot manager is before the drive. Are there any other suggestions?

    It fails when trying to us automatic update and it proceeds to the install screen when I dont automatically update. But then it freezes at the starting screen. Im going to get dvd-r in a little bit I dont figure it will help but its the only thing I can think to try.

    What automatic updates?

    Are you referring to this Window?



    If you receive this window then the install is not being booted but run from another OS desktop.

    Did you download another ISO and burn to a fresh DVD, from Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7?

    When an installer stalls like that the ISO and burn need to be checked, and this is the way to do it.
