I have fixed the problem my self now, but I can inform you that it wasn't something I would ever expect.  I took out 4 of the 5 GB RAM and that did the trick, apparently running with the minimum amount of RAM seemed to be the solution. Thank you both for the replies and I hope this post will help alot of you unlucky people out there with the same problem I had. In summary: Peel the computer down to minimum requirements (RAM) then instert it all after the installation is done. best regards, Excerebrose
I have 3x OptiPlex GX620 machines that I need to format and re-install with Windows 7. When I get to the step where I "Press any key to boot from CD or DvD" then all 3 machines starts to load all the windows files but as soon as the machines gets to the screen where it says "Starting Windows" then it just halts/stops and wont go any further. My company does not use the Windows 7 CD/DvD that can be aquired from DELL, but we have them directly from MICROSOFT. Is there something with the MBR/BIOS that blocks the CD/DvD when its not an OS configured/delivered by DELL? What can I do my self to fix this issue so I can get on with formatting and install the machines with Windows 7. Thanks.
