Can not re install Windows 7

myxbox

When trying to install Windows 7 , it will load the windows files, ( white bar go's across the screen ) then i get the windows 7 background ,the disc drive spins for a bit ( no light on ) then stops spinning , the computer "working light" is doing nothing, the pc is just idle , then a long time after looking at that, the option to choose keyboard setup, language and region box appears, click ok, then "setup is starting.." appears on screen and nothing happens,

i have tried 4 different dvd writers ( one brand new ) in my pc, two versions of win 7, , on all attempts and dvd writers the same problems as above and all stop at the same place.

i have tried the discs in 2 different laptops all of them work fine,

could some hardware on my pc be stopping win 7 from installing? ,

the pc runs fine ( windows 7 ) just want clean install as its been 2 yrs since i last did it, many thanks

Only thing I can think of is either: Dodgy Ram, dirty install disk or it can't see the drives.

If you're feeling adventurous and the drive you're installing it on is empty then give this a look:

the drivers all work fine, have booted to windows and will all read discs, the disc drives are been seen in bios as a select to boot from them , in order to start the install , have done a mem test , comes back fine too, many thanks

how much ram is in the PC? and how fast is the cpu? might just be decompressing the install files. that's why it looks like it's stopped.
