CPU: AMD X2 64 bit 3800+ (2.0 GHz)
RAM: 4 GB
Motherboard: BFG nForce4 Ultra
Video Card: EVGA GeForce 8500
2 SATA Drives (160GB & 250GB)
IDE DVD burner
I have downloaded and burn multiple copies of Windows 7 and cannot get it to even really start the install. Went ahead and created a bootable USB drive and got the same results.
The inital "windows is loading files..." takes about 10 minutes, then the next screen to actually start the install may or may not show and if it does, it is after another 10 minutes or so. (I am able to see the blue background with the leaves, etc) Then if I am lucky enough to make it there, I select install and go through everything until I see "Setup is starting" (or whatever it says) and just hangs.
This is occurring with both the 64 bit and 32 bit installs. FYI- I have gone to the point of removing all but one SATA drive (including removing the DVD drive), all USB connections (save my mouse and keyboard), pulling 2 sticks of RAM to take it down to 2 GB and I still cannot get this to install.
Please help...
