So I have a pc I built myself and I decided to upgrade the graphics card

Specs:

650 watt PSU

Asus M5A99FX Pro R2.0 motherboard

Msi Radeon r7 370 [upgraded card] radeon hd 6450 [old card]

AMD FX 8320 proccessor

Two hard drives, one running x64 and x32 windows 7 I had the x32 hard drive in first

This all started out when I upgraded the card. The PC would give the all good beep, then a long beep followed by 3 short. Then eventually after enough restarts it would work fine, just couldint turn off the pc without it happeninf again. According to the code this was a memory failure above 640kb, I took out the new card and put in the old one and it worked just fine. So I looked up what to do, and I moved the the one stick of ram and it didint work. Also tried reseting the bios by unplugging and taking out the motherboard battery and it too didint work. So I took out the x32 drive cause I wanted to focus on the x64 first

But now the PC starts up, goes to bios just fine. But it seems to freeze when it triesto start up windows. I really need help here, Im still a noob and im freaking out. I dont have a windows disk nor do I have the money to rebuild a whole new pc
 
you have both hard drives in at the same time? best advice: wipe both drives and start fresh. i dont think having both those drives with two conflicting windows installs together is doing you any favors
 
Wouldint I need disks for that? I had little help building it. But getting the software on the pc was all done by a relative so I have no experience in this area

And yes I had them both in at the same time
 
you can download the windows installers for the version that you need by doing a google search. you are going to need your windows key, though. and when you install windows, use the 64-bit version.

cant the person who set this up for you help you? going through this process is not easy, but learning to troubleshoot by yourself is invaluable.
