Cannot install Windows

[nickc]

on an old computer, I am running an I7 2900 on a P8P67 ASUS Board. The PSU is a CORSAIR VX450W The video card is an old one that could be 8 to 10 years old.but is working. Windows trashed itself and froze so after it was not able to repair itself I decided to reinstall. The DVD can delete the partition and build a new one, and format. Then I started to Install Windows, it gets to where it reboots and then windows Freeses, I get exactly the same place every time I try to reinstall. The PSU I had in the closet for a year or two before I put it in the case but it has not been in it for more than a year The C: drive I have had since SATA drives were first built. I will be glad to answere any questions. and no I can not spell!

Sounds like a hardware error. Bad memory or a bad sector on you HDD will cause this.
Run memtest86, if it comes out clean. Have you windows install do a FULL partition NOT a quick one.

Your onboard graphics card should give you better graphics judging by the fact that you said its a 8-10 year old graphics card. Try booting without graphics card installed.

no onboard graphics. and it was the board it quit even trying to reboot, another word black screen permanent.

I have that same problem with another computer but I changed the bus speed to high. Have you resolved the problem yet?

Yes, I ordered another board today.
