Im trying to install windows but overtime I do it will either freeze at expanding files or get to completing installation and then restart only to rr install windows again. If Snyder one can get back to me on this I would really appreciate it.
 
if it a new pc make sure the mb bios is up to date..has the newest cpu and ram code. make sure the mb bios reading the ram fine. (speed and timing). if windows still locking up try swapping dimms. (one dimm at a time in main (a0) ram slot. see if the system still hangs. if it does try booting from hirem boot cd run memtest86 to see if your ram the issue. if it not your ram try running hd tune and read hd smart info and run some vendor tests tools. also check that you have your sata cables on the intel/amd ports not 3 party sata ports. also check that the sata ports set to achi mode not raid or ide.
