I built a new computer and today i installed windows on it. Everything was going smoothly until one of the restarts. Now every time I restart my computer it says "The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Windows installation cannot proceed. To install Windows, click "OK" to restart your computer, and restart the installation. I click OK and it either takes my back to BIOS or restarts the computer and brings me back to here. If I try to click windows 7 in BIOS i come back to this.

start the machine and enter the BIOS/UEFI and select the optical drive to boot from. Make sure the Win 7 disk is in the drive, and restart. This will make the system boot from the disk.

Run the disk like you are trying to install the OS. When the disk asks what drive you want to install the OS on select the drive and advanced options/ or options ( been a while since I have had to reformat my 2 Win 7 systems). It will be under the drive selection box. In side of teh options it will say format. tell it to format the disk. It will give you a warning that every thing is going to be removed from the disk. click ok/yes. this will reformat the disk and wipe it. from there just continue to install windows as normal.
