Windows 7 Can't start windows 7

[Drunken.Piper]

I downloaded W7-64bit from microsoft. I burned to a disc and booted to it. It loads all the files fine, but when it goes to start windows it shows a red dot then gives a blue screen saying something I can't remember at the moment. (I'll find out later)
I've tried the 32 bit version, it does the same. I installed from XP. And it does the same thing. I'm thinking it might be a hardware issue, but don't have a clue what it could be.

Here is my system in hopes that somebody might see an obvious problem.

It seems that the problem you're experiencing with Windows 7 Beta could be related to driver compatibility or hardware issues. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and possibly resolve the issue: 1. Check Hardware Compatibility: - Ensure that your computer meets the minimum system requirements for Windows 7. - Check with the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard for any known hardware compatibility issues with Windows 7. 2. Update Drivers: - Visit the websites of your hardware component manufacturers (motherboard, graphics card, etc.) to download the latest Windows 7 drivers for your specific hardware. - Install the updated drivers to ensure that your hardware is fully compatible with Windows 7. 3. Check BIOS Settings: - Make sure that your BIOS is up to date. Check the manufacturer's website for BIOS updates that may address compatibility issues with Windows 7. - Verify that your BIOS settings are correctly configured for your hardware. 4. Clean Installation: - Consider performing a clean installation of Windows 7 rather than an upgrade from XP to ensure a fresh start without any potential conflicts from the old operating system. - Back up your important data before performing a clean install. 5. Hardware Testing: - Test your hardware components, such as memory modules (RAM) and the hard drive, for any potential issues using diagnostic tools. - Check the health of your hard drive using tools like CrystalDiskInfo to ensure it's functioning properly. 6. Create a Windows 7 Boot Disk: - Use a tool like Rufus to create a Windows 7 bootable USB drive. This method might help avoid issues related to optical disc drives during the install process. 7. Seek Professional Help: - If you're unable to resolve the issue on your own, consider seeking assistance from a professional or Microsoft support for further troubleshooting and resolution. By following these steps and ensuring that your hardware, drivers, and installation method are all in good condition, you may be able to successfully install and run Windows 7 on your system.
