I got my windows 7 disk from my university and started installing it on a new computer I just built for windows 7. Here are the specs:
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]XFX GeForce 9600 GSO Video Card
[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Intel Core i7 940 Processor
[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Patriot Viper Tri Channel 6GB PC10666 DDR3 Memory
[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]EVGA X58 SLI LE Motherboard
[/FONT]Seagate 1.5 TB Hard drive
64 bit
I have already tried removing all but 1 memory stick and switching those sticks out. My screen freezes right when the starting windows screen comes up, the logo doesn't even have time to pop up. I only have my keyboard and mouse plugged in and that's it.
The only thing i can think of is that i need to swap out the video card because I remember reading that people are having a hard time with nvidia graphics cards and install. I would greatly appreciate the help.
