I just purchased a full copy of windows 7 64 bit. When i boot from CD and it says "Windows is loading files..." and then proceeds to that nice blue screen.... well thats as far as i get no Install window pops up all i see is a pretty background and a mouse cursor. cant go any further than that. what is the problem?
Make sure you unplug all USB devices,printers, etc and if you have more than 8GB of RAM, take out two or more sticks sticks
dont have any. even tried removing my USB mouse and booting but still same problem
Only leave 2GB of RAM in it, then out it back after instill.
I gave up last night but now its the morning so im going to give that a try. thanks for your posts ill let you know whether that works or not. I really hope it does.
In addition, if not already done; go to Microsoft site and get the upgrade advisor. It will tell you of any known conflicts between your computer and win7.
Try running the installer from XP to see what happens.
Do you still have XP on the computer? If so, try running the installer from XP to see what happens.
Is there a more recent BIOS upgrade for your mobo? If so, install it.
What are the SATA controllers set to in the BIOS?
What frequently works is trying install from flash stick. Use Ultra ISO trial version to write ISO to stick using Bootable tab. Boot using F-key given on first bootup screen for Boot Menu; stick should be listed under hard drives.

It wont let me run the CD in XP. how do i check to see if there are BIOS upgrades for my mobo? I have eVGA 680i T-1 SLI 122CKNF68T1 Motherboard
What should the SATA controllers be set to? currently i am creating an image like you suggested onto my Flash Drive and will try to install from that. That seems like it will take all night. I dont have a fast USB 2.0 Input.
