BSOD during Windows 7 installation
Hi everyone!
Have this computer for 4.5 years. i5 2500k, Nvidia 460GTX, Asus P8 P67 Pro mobo, WD Caviar Black 1TB HDD. Recently the hard drive failed and i bought Seagate Barracuda 1TB. Tried to install Windows 7 but somewhere in the process after "starting services" promo i get BSOD for like 3 seconds and then the computer reboots and setup displays message that says something like "the installation encountered an unexpected error, restart the installation to try again". I tried several times and also tried to install Server 2008 r2 just to make sure the DVD is not the problem and yes, in both cases got the same error. By the way, installed Linux without any problem, so the problem is specific to Windows. Please help me to fix this?
