Hello:
I am in the process of upgrading my old XPS Gen 5 Dell computer to a faster self-built computer [See below for the specs of my build] . On first start, everything seemed fine until the Windows 7 logo comes up and the computer just restarts. It goes into that loop over and over again. I have tried messing with the BIOS settings of the new motherboard but to no avail (remember-I cannot open into Windows). I am in the process of reinstalling Windows 7 onto a new hard drive but it is still taking a VERY long time to install (1 hour to go 10% of "Expanding Windows Files"). I have installed Windows 7 before and it has never taken this long. As I am typing this (on a different computer obviously) it is at 16% on the same section ("Expanding Windows Files"). It hasn't even touched the "Installing Features" part yet. Does anyone know of any reasons why it would be taking so long? OR Why would the computer be on a constant restart loop in the first place? I know there really isn't very much information here so if you would like more just respond to this post. Anything would be appreciated.
New hardware installed:
* Cooler Master HAF 932 Full Tower Black Case to replace casing from stock case off the Dell XPS Gen 5 computer
* EVGA nForce 730i GeForce 9300 Socket 775 MB to replace stock motherboard off a Dell Dimension XPS Gen 5 computer (Dell Dimension XPS Gen 5 Motherboard GC068)
* Ultra LSP750 750w Power Supply
* Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 2.5Ghz 6M to replace the stock Processor, 80547, Pentium 4 Prescott Dt, 640, SKT-T, Male
* ULTRA CHILLTEC AM2/775/I7 CPU COOLER
