Can you boot to Safe Mode?

Try uninstalling the Video drivers in Device Manager.

Yea I have tryed booting it in safe mode, but didn't work that either...

Windows 7 Installation Errors : Troubleshoot Step by Step

​

 

[gregrocker]

See if you can enter Device Manager using this method to uninstall any drivers which are in error and may be hanging install completion: Device Manager - Access During Windows 7 Installation

 

[Thorekong]

No luck :S

Now when I try safe mode it stands that I can't continue the installation in safe mode, and after I was in the device mangament I have gotten to the Starting Windows screen and it just stands there and nothing is happening :S

 

[gregrocker]

Were any devices showing in error with an ! mark in Device Manager and did you uninstall them on their driver tab?

 

[Thorekong]

found a new one with the error but it still doesn't work...

 

[gregrocker]

Would you please be more specific?

What device is in error, exactly what did you do, and what occurred?

 

[Thorekong]

Sry it was a unspesifyed and the monitor for my g19 keyboard, first I tryed to just shut them down but when I checked nothing had happened so I uninstalled them.

 

[gregrocker]

OK let's try troubleshooting the installation from the ground up.

Check for newer BIOS update on Computer or Mobo Support Downloads webpage. If none, Reset the CMOS: Clear CMOS - 3 Ways to Clear the CMOS - Reset BIOS.

While in BIOS setup, set SATA controller to AHCI first to try install, then IDE if it fails.

Unplug all other HD's, peripherals, try a PS2 mouse and keyboard if possible.

Proceed with install this way: Clean Install Windows 7. Use Custom>Drive options to delete all partitions, create new as you wish, then format before install.

Remove all but 2gb of RAM to try install. Test your RAM: RAM - Test with Memtest86+. Swap RAM sticks.

Test your HD by booting maker's diag/repair CD extended scan: HD Diagnostic

Wipe the HD using Diskpart to clear boot sector: SSD - HDD Optimize for Windows Reinstallation

Report back results of each step, exactly how install fails.

I got a new bios two days ago, not sure if u want me to reset it still?

have tryed to switch between the sata controllers but only the same, first the window where u can chouse if you want to start windows up in safe mode or what, but on the top it stands that windows wasn't able to start up so it said I should use the win 7 cd to repair the disks, but I have tryed every thing that I could find that could help me but still didn't work.
when I click start windows normal from the window it stops at the Starting Windows screen and when I try safe mode it only stands that it can't continue the installation in safe mode.
I have 2 disks plugged in now my ssd that don't show up in the bios and the disk I want to install win 7 , and I don't any ps2 mouse or keyboard here.
I have also had a clean install of windows nothing new happens, now i'm running the memtest, I will be back with more when it's done.

You need to remove this HD Drive from the PC, or check out why the Drive is not showing in BIOS.

 

[Thorekong]

I have taken out the ssd drive but I want to know why the ssd doesn't show on my bios :S

 

[Thorekong]

Okey now I have tryed both the Memtest and the HD diagnostic programs and both said they where fine so just to check I went back to the device manager and found some new errors. First was my G19 gaming Keyboard (Display Interface), there there was a Multimedia Audio Controller, and one RAID controller and two Unknown devices and I can't seem to get them uninstalled or disabled

 

[gregrocker]

Try another keyboard, one HD plugged in with SATA controller in BIOS set to AHCI mode.

 

[Thorekong]

It is on ACHI mode

 

[gregrocker]

You originally wanted to reinstall to the SSD drive, but it isn't being detected in BIOS?

If so plug in only the SSD, check the BIOS to see if it registers now. Make sure it is cabled correctly and plugged in tightly.

If not does it register in another computer's BIOS?

If SSD won't register, make sure HD registers correctly.

Did you complete all of the steps given earlier? Wipe the HD?

Did you try IDE mode if AHCI fails?

What I do when troubleshooting fails is plug the HD in alone to another computer, do the install, then SysPrep the HD before moving it back to problem machine. SysPrep to move HD to another computer

bah now I wish I had taken my server with me just moved btw so have not that much pc equipment here :S

 

[Thorekong]

Now I know what was the problem with my ssd, I had put it in the wrong hole but it is still the same problem :S
