Got a new motherboard and have a formatted HD. Trying to install Win 7 Ultimate x64. The computer freezes up at the 0% expanding files part of the setup. Sometimes before that.
I do get a "CPU fan error" message during bootup but the fan is still going. From what I can tell in the BIOS screen, the fan is not turning at full speed (closer to half). Not sure if I'm reading that right as its a whole new BIOS setup for me.
Have tried 2 different win 7 install discs and even tried my old vista and XP install discs. All have had similar issues.
Also tried resetting RAM, using 1 or both sticks, using different slots...
Would the CPU fan be the issue or is there another option? Just wanna have a better idea before I stop for that fan on the way home from work today. Rather get everything with one trip instead of two.
Thanks ahead of time.
