Installing locks up

[Guest]

way through the compleating upgrade stage everything just stops. My computer

there a fix for this? It sat this way for at least 4 hours!!!

If you don't find a better reply (you prob will)
Then underclock the box.

If I ever had a problems installing any flavour of windows on an "amd"
machine it was usually the first thing I did.

had 100% win rate with the method. after a couple of shut down/restarts I
would usually clock it back up and everything would be fine after that.
