So I have been trying to install windows 10 on my friends laptop which previously had windows 7.
I upgraded a lot of computers before but some weird things are happening now.
I installed windows 10 with usb and it always freezes after being in windows for around 2 mins. Sometimes it even freezes on windows loading screen. Computer fans just start spinning faster and everything is frozen. Only hard resetting helps.
Next step i tried is that I used different usb with differen windows and still no luck.
I installed windows 7 again but with CD and it worked. I have been thinking maybe its cd-usb difference.
Latest thing i tried was starting it up in safe mode and it works. So if i put it in safe mode i can normally use computer for longer period of time without freezing. I tried sfc /scannow, I ran mem test, no luck.
I am thinking about some driver problems?
Laptop is old but has 8gb ram, i7 and newly added ssd... It also had older hdd, which i though could cause the problem (read it somewhere that having 2 disks can cause problems). I think i ruled it out after disconnecting it and getting same error. Or could it be that even when one is disconnected computer still has some RAID configuration which could cause the problem?
Thanks for any kind of help, just need to pinpoint the problem I am running out of ideas.
