I have a old 2009 HP Pavilion DV4 laptop that was being just only to play mp3’s for a couple years on Windows 10 when it started restarting for no reason. Without looking up a solution first, I decided to reinstall the OS when the suggested Windows fixes didn’t work. Using a bootable USB, I kept having issues with the Windows 10 install restarting and couldn’t finish the install. Afterwards, I deleted all the partitions and tried again a few times with no better luck.
Since it was originally a Windows 7 computer I figured it W7 would work. Since the hard drive partitions were all removed from the previously failed Windows 10 install I deleted everything and started again. Using two different Windows 7 bootable USBs, I’m still having issues with the install where it restarts before it can finish. Sometimes it will get past the Expanding Windows Files and restart as soon as it reaches Installing features. Sometimes it will restart at Expanding Windows Files.
Any help or suggestions?
