Windows 7 Pro Install Failure

So I was re-installing Windows 7 on my HP Probook 4420s after a SSD upgrade and so I could use Virtual DJ again, but, after I enter the product key, my computer freezes for about 10 seconds then reboots. If I hit to enter the product key later, it goes into a reboot loop. Can anyone help fix this problem?

Does the PC freeze then BSOD? or do you physically shut it down?

 

Is it a legitimate key, or is it a reused code?

 

If you turn it off, then you just need patience. Also, there could be a problem with microsoft servers right now.

 

it could also possibly be a bad install. Did you install from a legit ISO? Or did you torrent it?  Some torrents, ( lol MOST) have bad ISOs. ( may have alot of services missing to troll people)

If it's a BSOD, what is the error code that it gives you?

It BSOD and it's a legitimate key, and it is the ISO disk that came with my computer.

well if you can replicate the BSOD, be sure to write down the error so I can take a look for the cause :)
