Windows 7 stuck at "setup is preparing your computer for first use"
I bought a new computer consisting of the following components
motherboard: Asus M5A99X EVO R2.0
graphics card: Sapphire dual-x R2 270x
CPU: AMD FX 8350
the rest off the components I took from my old PC and should all be okay. (600W power supply, 4GB DDR3 1600 Mhz RAM, 3TB HDD)
The problem is that whenever I try to install Windows 7 64bit the installation stops when it reaches the "setup is preparing your computer for first use". I have tried all I can think of that might cause problems during the installation. I have installed missing drivers, making a clean installation on the hard drive, I have tried a different and smaller HDD, changing the new graphics card for the old one I have, and I have tried booting in Legacy mode, but so fare nothing works.
I hope somebody out there has an Idea how to fix it.
