Windows 7 impossible to install on Asus G75V

[Ericwins]

Hey there,

I'm trying to install Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bits on my laptop (Asus G75V) onto my 250GB SSD but it is not working, I made a bootable USB with W7 downloaded from Microsoft and I made the bootable USB with Rufus, I also made sure it wasn't corrupted ( I have done this many times with no problems at all ) . I choose to boot from USB and I just get a blue screen with a cursor and nothing happens at all, I've waited over 10 minutes now. I tried taking out all ram except for one card (4GB) I took the 750 GB HDD out and left only the SSD in and I tried putting the BIOS in IDE mode but it is still the same problem. Any help is appreciated. I also tried using Gparted to fix the problem by deleting partitions etc but that failed and no programs are working for me. I tried Shift + F10 to get into Disk Part but it just stays frozen on loading diskpart ...

Thanks in advance

Asus G75V

"I made a bootable USB with W7 downloaded from Microsoft"

With *what* downloaded from Microsoft. Because just saying "W7" doesn't mean anything.

If it's an ISO you're SOL because it's going to expect to be an actual DVD running from a physical drive not a UDF written to a virtual device (the flash drive). You can do that with Linux, you can't or at least I never got it to work with Windows 7. It doesn't always work even with Linux because not all firmware will accept virtual ISO images that way for booting.

If it's a made-for-USB-flash-drive image then it still may not work if you have an odd USB controller chip or you plug it into a USB 3 port which Win7 doesn't have support.

Hey,

Sorry for not giving enough description, I downloaded the Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit ISO from Microsoft and I then used Rufus to make it bootable on my 8GB Sandisk USB flash drive. I have installed Windows 7 multiple times using this method, I don't understand why it's not working now. If I burn the ISO to a DVD it should work?
