    Hi everyone.

    I have just built new machine and tried to install Windows 7 Professional 64bit. The process is fine until the last step in Win installation where it says "completing installation", desktop just restarts and then says "there is a problem to start the windows. start win normally or safe mode" blah blah blah. Of course it will say that because it hasn`t complete the installation.
    I just can`t understand why it is restarting. Is it hardware issue or software?
    I am using Win7 trial from Microsoft website just to test the hardware.
    In BIOS I can see that it recognizes all parts installed. I tried to change SATA settings from IDL to AHCI but no luck

    I would appreciate any help or advice.

    Specs:
    CPU: Intel i7 950 + H50
    Motherboard: Asus P6X58D-E
    RAM: Corsair 3 x 2Gb
    HDD: 500Gb Samsung SpinpointF3 7200rpm SATA2 16MB
    PSU: 700W
    SONY 24 SPEED BLACK DVD RW SATA DUAL LAYER REWRITER
    GPU: Asus GTX460

    Also you downloaded a trial from MS, it might not have downloaded properly and it might have errors, try grabbing the one from the repository and test it out. That will let you know if it is hardware related or Software.
