Hi guys, a bit to read, but you were bored anyway, yes?
I am having a lot of trouble installing Windows 7 here. This is what i have done so far: Tried installing by booting from the disc, got to where it says select language, then the next screen says "Install Now" and I click it. A couple of seconds after that, I can't move the mouse at all, and the computer is frozen. When this happens, there are 6 little phase LED's near my RAM slots that all light up from green to red. I have 2 x 2gb Zeppelin sticks, so I took one out, and it still happened. Then I tried disconnecting everything except my monitor, keyboard and mouse and it still happened. So, then I tried installing it from Windows XP, (Put the disc in while XP was running). This worked slightly better, it copied some files over, then it restarted and got to the stage where it has a list of things that the installer is doing and its completion percentage. (I don't know if that description of that screen makes sense :P Now I only tried once, but in the late first/early second stage of the process, my monitor just turns off. It goes black, then says no signal, then goes on standby and the computer is still running. Now I remember this happened to me last time I tried to install Vista about 6-8 months ago and I gave up, so now i'm posting here hoping someone can help me :D MoBo: Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3 Proc: Q6600 no OC GFX: NVIDIA 9600 GT If you want more info just ask. Phew! Thanks for reading, Jim |

Have you got a completely different stick of RAM to try. That may lead to some clues.

Fix the memory voltages.

Look online or on the box for the correct voltages for your RAM and set them to that in the BIOS.

hmm i can't seem to find the box that it came in or anything about it on the web.
its a cheaper branded ram i think, its called zeppelin. but this is what is written on them; ZEPPELIN 2G/800/1288 UL 0108 JCD9 ZPTA003518 JTC08277 don't know if that helps find out what the voltages are or not. |

i went into the bios and looked at the voltages and this is what i saw.
Vcore - 1.284V DDR18V - 1.920V +3.3V - 3.264V +12V - 11.858V I don't know if these are normal or not. Cheers |
