I recently wiped my computer completely clean. When installing Windows 7 Home Premium again I am running into difficulties. Namely several blue screens are happening (during installation it has happened several times as well while installing drivers - motherboard and graphics card) and an error message saying that the download was interrupted when installing drivers and once trying to install Firefox. In this process I wiped it again, for a second time to see if the problems would cease. However they continue to happen and I have no idea why.
I have reason to believe that it not a software issue based off the fact that the problems are happening after a fresh install. That leads me to thinking that it something hardware related. Perhaps the hard drive? I don't really have any idea where to start.
Some background knowledge to the problem:
Computer specs
Motherboard - Gigabyte 78LMT-S2P
Graphics Card - MSI R6850 PMDIGD5
Power Supply - OCZ Technology Mod X Stream-Pro 700w
Ram - Mushkin Enhanced
Processor - AMD Bulldozer FX-8150 3.1 Ghz
Hard drive - 590657-001 Hitachi 750gb 7200rpm
The computer is a custom build that my local computer shop assembled for me. The hard drive came from an old HP computer of mine that I transferred over to this new build.
I also purchased a burnt copy of Windows 7x64 SPI from the computer shop as well and used my previous computers product key to activate it since I did not receive a Windows 7 CD with the purchase of my previous computer.
All help is appreciated and I can provide further information or pictures if requested. Thanks a lot
