I have a problem with installing Windows on my computer. every time i try to install a fresh copy, it hangs on the starting windows screen. I tried to leave it there for 25-30 minutes but it just freezes. i even tried to go to bios and put the sata option to "compatible". it still didn't work. then i read that there was a compatibility issue with 2 ram so i took one ram out and it went a little further this time. it passed the starting windows screen but then it hangs there on a blue screen with the flower. i even tried upgrading it by installing my original xp professional but it freezes after it resets.


i have a retail copy of windows 7 it works on my new setup using:


Mobo: rampage gene
Processor : intel i7 920
Ram: dominator 6gb ram ddr3
Video card: evga gtx 260


But will not work with my previous set up
Mobo: rampage extreme 775
Ram: ocz reaper 2x 2gb
Processor: intel e8500 duo core
Video card: evga 8800 gts ko edition


oh and before i forget i also tried a different psu because i read that it could be a problem and it doesn't seem to be it. i used the antec 650w earthwatts and a cooler master 400w.


please help any suggestion would be appreciated. thanks

corrupted and old versions of files scattered from failed previous install attempts

use active@killdisk to wipe the first 10% of the hdd or so.
