PC just wont boot into Windows

betatestedurm0m · August 6, 2020

So I’ve had an old PC running Windows 7 (Pro/Ultimate) 32 bit I think. One day I checked the system’s specs and it turns out it was an x86 based system. Armed with this knowledge and a drive to get the most out of this cpu I put in a Windows 7 installation disc and “upgraded” to WINDOWS 7 ULTIMATE x86 and thus began my woes.

Since then I’ve tried;

Reinstalling Windows 7 Pro x64
Reinstalling Windows 7 Pro x86
Switching the CMOS battery
Formatting the harddisk drive and creating two new fresh partitions (One for Windows, the other for Linux)
Reinstalling Windows on the larger partition
Switching display settings from PCI to AGP (The motherboard has AGP gpu I think) in BIOS

None if these have worked. After the installation is done the PC restarts, it tries to load into Windows, gets to the Windows 7 “Welcome” splash screen, logs off, Shuts down and then when it just boots up again it goes past the “Packard Bell” screen and then stays at black and never boots into Windows. Please help.

Specs are:
