Can't seem to get Win7 installed on this..
Just got my tigerdirect order in.
Upgrading a PC
Athlon XP 1.6ghz
1 gig ram (new)
Dvd-rw (new)
160 gig hard drive (New)
Windows 7 Home Premium OEM (New)
1st couple of try's I got it to get to 65% of expanding files then froze.
Now it wont even get that far. I get the "Install Now" button and then it freezes or it will only get to "Starting Installation" then freeze
I pulled all extra components and devices not needed for computer operation. Any Ideas on what I should do from here?
Edit.................................
Looks like I got it to install.
I tried the BIOS. Set to safe default, No go.. Then tried Optimized defaults, Still nothing.
Then I started tweaking and I think I found the issue.
I set the memory setting from Automatic to 133/133/33
Been about 40 minutes and it seems to be finished. I'm at the desktop getting drivers now.
