Windows 7 installation Freezes at Starting windows screen.

Title says it all, how do I fix this?
Specs:
MSI G31 motherboard (LGA 775)

Core 2 Quad Q6600

4GB DDR2

7870XT 2GB

500GB Seagate HDD

Generic LG DVD IDE.

 

Thanks for any help!

Edit:
When in the usb boot it says loading windows, then after that it says starting windows and there it freezes.

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

no LGA 775 does not support usb 3

I have a feeling that usb 2 cant support windows 7 if its an install then it should be fine..

It's an install, I used the usb on my dad's pc and installed windows there but when I brought it back it would not work in my pc.

a dvd would be even slower but from what I read it should be fine http://lifehacker.com/how-to-run-a-portable-version-of-windows-from-a-usb-dri-1565509124

Try remounting the Windows 7 installation onto your USB again or try it with a different USB.

I actually couldn't underclock my 5 year old GPU to make it as slow as a next-gen console.
