Hi jeszy and welcome

Did you download win 7 from mS or did you buy it?


Ken J+

bought it

nope nothing, thanks for trying. not like there was anything else i wanted to buy with my $350

ive tried safe mode , yes

Try downloading and running the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, see if it works and if so, does it flag anything as a problem.

Did you try booting from the DVD?

I have tried booting from the DVD and the first thing i did was use the upgrade advisor , i passed with flying colours
