Got the rest of my drivers and some software installed last night without a hitch. Everything seems to be working well and stable. So far I like 7. It is just as responsive as XP, that worried me after using Vista on a laptop. I'm sure the more familiar I become with it the more I will like it...

Hardware should be no problem, Phenom II X4 955, and ASUS M4A79XTD EVO mobo. I do suspect mobo issues, but I can't find where anyone else has had this problem.

Well, I finally was successful with the istallation. It took me a minimum of 10 attempts to get it to load without hanging, by the time I got the upgrade ran on top of the install. Took better part of five hours. Even after install it would just freeze up, so I updated my BIOS. Held my breath...

Once again..............if you would read what I have written. Now pay attention. I have a purchased a student copy of 7 Ultimate. A hard copy / DVD, not a download. I am trying a clean install, it does boot, it does go through the installation until it gets to finalization and it hangs. It...

No error message just hangs.

System will run 64 no problem. Phenom II 955 ASUS M4A790 EVO 4 gig ram BIOS is the latest I have not formated the drive and tried. Always had XP installed, figured I had to have it installed since it is an upgrade.

I have been through this three times and have to reinstall XP after installation fails every time. I am trying to upgrade using a student version Win 7 64 Ultimate DVD, the XP is home version. I boot from DVD and do the custom bit and it starts to install. It hangs during preparing to...
