First Build. Windows 7 startup freezes on quotstarting windowsquot
I then restarted my PC to see if I can get a different scene with starting windows 7. But I then get the blue screen of death..
Is it something with my computer build?
SPECS:
CPU: Athlon 750k (just installed)
Motherboard: Gigabyte
GA-F2A88X-D3H
Graphics card: 750ti MSI
PSU 500w EVGA
8GB Ram
1tb and 320gb
I also have a wireless nextwork adapter which is on the motherboard.
Please help and ask if you need more information on how to solve this. I HAVE NEVER RAN WINDOWS 7 ON THIS BUILD BEFORE. I just recently finished building it and tried to install the OS and it freezes.
Please help!
My friend also said to disable UEFI... What is UEFI? And how do I disable it in a Gigabyte Bios?

[quote=ZaraByte]@Antisora12: LOL You need a Copy of Windows and you place the CD into your computer power it on you may need to go into the BIOS to make the CD/DVD drive the first boot order im curious to know how you managed to build a computer but dunno how to format?[/quote]
a friend helped me..
@Antisora12: that error has do with either you hardware or software issues it can be both
[quote=ZaraByte]I'd recommend you format it and reinstall a clean copy of Windows or place a clean drive as the master drive and keep the one it right now out and install Windows if it doesn't blue screen then that should answer your queston as to why its blue screening for you.
Old hardware information is stored on that drive so that's likely the reason it could be blue screening.[/quote]
Ok.. Since I am new at this. How do I format it if I can't get in to where I can format the drive? (where you can install windows on any HD)
[quote=ZaraByte]BSOD can be 2 things 1 Software issue 2 hardware issue. I recommend trying to go into safe mode on the computer and checking the event viewer most guys who know what they are doing will know what to look for in that log.
I'd highly recommend if you restored Windows from your old pc or if you placed your old hard drive into that computer without formatting it that you try formatting the hard drive and starting from scratch and see if it still blue screens if it does likely a hardware issue.[/quote]
everything is new except for the hard drive which I did get from an old pc. So do I just remove it?
[quote=joshua418]The problem is that you need to disable UEFI first before installing Windows 7 that's why it freezes
