Installation stall at "Setup is preparing your computer for first use"
I am trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on my custom build. I get through the whole system setup and stall at the "setup is preparing your computer for first use"
Here are my computer specs:
AMD FX6300 Black Edition
Asus M5A97 LE R2.0
8 GB GSkill Ripjawz DDR3 1333 MHz
EVGA GeForce GTX650 (also tried my old Geforce 8600 GT)
1 TB Western Digital HDD 7200 RPM SATA 3.0
I've gone into the device manager and tried disabling the graphics card, uninstalling the driver, and updating the driver, none of which did the trick. Then I browsed to the system logs, and found that the "online installation" failed was the last entry in my setup log. I've disabled my wireless card with the device manager, and will now attempt uninstalling the driver for it.
I'm at a total loss, I've put a ton of time and money into this machine, and I've never had any of these problems with any of my previous builds. Any advice?
