Title: Cannot install Windows 7 on 990XA-UD3
Post by: mesouraneo on October 23, 2012, 09:47:06 pm

I cannot for the life of me install windows 7. I have tried using USB, CD/DVD, reburning the disc, moving the SATA ports for my SSD and DVD, and changing the boot order around. It's really upsetting me to have a +1,000 paper weight. It goes from getting frozen on Boot From CD/DVD to getting in an endless boot loop. I haven't even seen the Windows install screen. Please help!


Specs:

Gigabyte 990XA-UD3

AMD FD4170FRGUBOX FX-4170

EVGA 02G-P3-1559-KR GeForce GTX 550 Ti

Cooler Master RC-430

16GB Corsair RAM

Samsung 830 Series

I think it was because I was using 64 bit Windows, am attempting a 32 bit installation.

Hi there,

it shouldn't really make a difference if you are trying to install the 32 or the 64 bit version of Windows 7 and the problem could be due to a lack of power. What PSU you are you using as you haven't mentioned it in your specs?
Also do you know what BIOS version you are running?
