How Can I Install Windows 7 In A Pc With Gigabyte Ga 945gcm S2c Motherboard?
i just cant install windows 7, it freezes during the installation in the "uncompressing windows files" phase, and if i install in another pc and then run that fresh installation in the pc with motherboard, it freezes shortly after login.
the only way to run w7 is in safe mode.
ive been thinking about updating the bios, but im not quite shure its going to work since ive read about more people with the same problem but none have updated the bios or so.
