Now the it start curser by curser the Phoenix technoligies to boot from CD and this took more than an hour to reach this point.... still did not boot-- hep me if ay one can

it's not a good idea to have Windows 7 on a Pentium 4 CPU
consider getting a higher CPU (pentium dual core / core 2 duo)
or you will be grounded with Windows Vista, you may also consider adding more ram (2gb : 1x2)

by the way, did you add new heatsink compound or you left the cpu and heatsink touching directly?

can i change the os to Vista from Windows 7 on the same configuration

ajaydeep12 :

I will recommend you to change the CPU as P4s are old and slow, even vista that was stated to be the last OS to run on it will lag

if you use the computer for just internet and you don't want to upgrade it then get a vista home basic disc
just make sure to install all the updates available to it so you won't face problems

again I recommend you to get a higher CPU and maybe install windows 8.1
