Windows 7 installation restart loop

Question

I try to make a clean install. Pc specs are:

P4 2.8 ghz, 256 mb gpu, 2 gb ddr, 160 gb hdd - 3 drives there and c drive is around 40 gb

Before installation i ran compatibility tool and it was ok. Iran also memory diag tool and also no problem. When i gointo safe mode, it says you should first go to normal mode to fiish installation.

Windows logo appears, starting wimdows appears and it restarts. Maybe because of gpu but i dont have onboard.

What can i do?

Answer 1

I put hdd to newer pc, and after that "staarting windows " screen, it did not restart. setup preparing windows for first use appeared. Now can you understand what the problem is? I did not put back to my pc yet.

Answer 2

And those links cant help. I installed from dvd and probably the same thing will happen if i reinstall. B ecause of my hardware probably but i cant figure out which.

If i install on another computer , to my harddrive, can my pc run it?

Answer 3

No, no error. It completed installing, then restarted but couldnot load windows. It hanged "starting windows " screen.
