My new system is as follows

Intel Core i7 920 D0 Stepping (SLBEJ) 2.66Ghz (Nehalem)
Kingston HyperX 6GB (3x2GB) Intel XMP DDR3 2000MHz CL8 Triple Channel Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD7 Intel X58
XFX 5850 graphics
Zalman GT1000 Z-Machine Titanium Case - Silver
Intel X25-M Mainstream 80GB 2.5" SATA-II Solid State Hard Drive
Tuniq Tower 120 Extreme Rev. C CPU Cooler
Samsung SH-S223BRSMN 22x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter

Tried installing windows 7 and everything goes ok until it resets at the last hurdle and tries to load, the windows balls logo circle on the screen and then it begins to put the mouse icon on the screen and the computer resets. My first attempt did simlar but i got a warning message stating my hardware was incompatible with windows 7 :confused:

trying to install windows 7 professional 64bit.

Just spunked 1500 on a new computer because my old one had problems trying to install windows 7 and now im back to the same problem.

The only thing i ihave done prior to install was flash the SSD to the lastest firmware and everything went fien with that.
 
i have a new SATA cd drive, not used in old system.

The win 7 dvd is only to be used for installation, i will not use the same reg details with microsoft, the computer is not even connected to the web at the moment so that wont be the issue.

i have mentioned above i have a brand new ocz 850 xstream as my power supply. I have a dell 1210 24" monitor. Do i have to set anything up in the bios for 64bit operation? what multiplyer should i select?
 
win 7 never finished a full install so the safe mode tells me its going to reset and continue installation. \i asssume windows 7 will not have any drivers for the 5850 graphics card, could this be the issue?
 
thanks for the advice, just one thing, when i installed windows 7 it asks me where to put it, i only have the ssd in the system so i selected that. I tried clicking on the format button for it but it was not highlighted and therefore i could not press it. Is this normal for SSD's?

I have it attached to one of the onboard gigabyte SATA II ports, is this the best place to plug it into?

How do you get to these Mem test and check disk applications when windows 7 initalises?
 
got it running by reseting my bios to 12x multiplyer.

Can anyone point me in the direction to get my processor running at 3.8ghz, i have the right processor and the right memory to get to this speed from what i have heard but i just dont understand the overclocking settings in the bios and every overclcok i try just freezes my system.
 
i readsomewhere that the memory is good for 1.65v but it seems to be at 1.5v with no way of changing it. Whats the difference between increasing the clock by the multiplyer or by the BCLK?
