Windows 7 and 10 will not finish the setup on this computer, and will crash (usually to a black screen, and automatically reboot) or in other cases where it just freezes the screen. On all other computers the setup runs perfectly.

I've tried numerous flash drives, DVDs, on different file systems and everything under the sun. I have no clue why it's not working.

Any ideas what's going on?

I would suspect a bad hard drive or bad RAM, as the initial triage.

I will swap out the HDD and/or ram, see if that helps. Thanks!

The specs are more than enough to run Windows 7. It's an HP G60 with 320gb of HDD, wiped clean.
