really slow windows 7 install

just installing windows 7 64 and it is going really really slow. i am doing it via USB and was copied on there on a 32 bit vista, would this make a difference?

Is it a USB 2.0 port?

yeah. just got BSOD at about 50% through the expanding files part btw.

thanks for reply

now going to try it with 86x version though it is a i7 920.

would copying windows 64x on to usb FROM a 86x version of vista have anything to do with it?

oh yeah it said irql(?) not less or equal if this helps anyone come to a conclusion. my ram has been put in slots 1, 2 and 3, id this right?

sorry for being so rubbish

run memtest on your machine. try installing with your machine at stock clocks if it's overclocked.
