    I erased W7 Home from older DELL Inspiron 1545 laptop 64-bit, I was trying to Install Chrome OS, but failed.
    While trying to install Chrome I was able to boot into Chrome from USB flash, but was not able to install it on the HDD.

    I am using fresh install W7, I already used it on my other PC successfully.
    It is not loading from USB flash (USB is set first), just blank dark screen after BIOS.

    Any advice for me.....?


    Thanks,
    BBDS

    Problem got solved after many attempts.......!!!!!!!

    I used Rufus-2.9 to create W7 installer and the File System was set to FAT32 by default.
    I recreated the installer by setting File System to NTFS.

    My DELL Inspiron 1545 laptop 64-bit booted into W7 without any issues.

Hello again. After I have installed a fresh Windows 7 64 Bit installation on a newly bought Crucial M4 SSD drive there are the BSOD's again. The last time I thought the cause perhaps was, a driver mcdbus.sys installed by a video editting program. This program is now not installed at all. Or...
