Okay. I'm not quite sure what happened between the time you FORMATTED and the next problem arose, but now it sounds like either a bad display, bad video card, or bad connection. Check all cables to and from the display and computer. If there is STILL no image on the display, either try a different display or try this display on a different computer. Let's figure out why you're not GETTING any video, then we'll get Windows 7 installed.OK well strange as it may sound the comp turned on and now Im in the BIOS menuAgain, make sure the dvid is the first boot device. If it is, DO NOT MAKE ANY OTHER CHANGES IN BIOS. Insert the Windows 7 DVD and boot to it and choose the repair options.If he's formatted the HDD he isn't gonna be able to repair anything.Yeah, forgot Windows 7 isn't really installed - thanks.... Just boot to the Windows 7 DVD and start the install routine.ok so now I was in process of installing WIN7 and it restarted once and then continued install. on the second restart the computer restarted and is doing the same thing as before. (comp running but not booting, getting blank screen)1) Check that the display is good (switch it with a different system)
2) Start the install again. This time, when it starts delete and recreate any partitions, then format, then begin the installation.Sorry for the delay on response. Its all up and running now. I think my problem is a bad DVD drive because even now its working intermittently. Thanks for all the help!!You're welcome and thanks for posting back. Glad you're up and running
