can't install win 7
Several weeks ago I purchased a copy of windows 7 32 bit. I could not install it successfully on the machine I wanted it on. I had to throw the HDD in another machine to install it, after I was able to enter the CD key information and let all the drivers install was I able to migrate the HDD in the original machine.
I still had problems at that point but I figured it was something to do with drivers, if I let them install in safe mode everything seemed to work fine.
The problem I am having now is that I wanted to originally put a 64 bit version of win 7 pro on it but I am having the exact same problem but can't find a similiar solution.
What happens is that after it gets thru all the file installation and is set to setup the user and CD-key it locks up at the starting windows screen. I have tried installing it on the other machine and migrating the HDD again but this time all I am able to do is load safe mode. I have tried installing all the updated drivers for the chipset, network card, and video card. But all it does if I try and load it in regular mode it just locks at the starting windows screen
I am using:
xvga x58 intel board
i7 2.6 ghz proc
3x2gb corsair memory
1 TB HDD
nvidia gtx 285 video card
I am suspecting it has something do with the x58 intel chip and some win 7 driver but I can't find a solution to it.
