This post is in reference to a Dell Dimension 9200 XPS 420 desktop with Core 2 Duo.
Formatted hard drive and attempted to re-install Windows 7 SP 1. Installation never gets past "Expanding Windows Components" at (0%).
I have swapped the DVD drive, went from 3 2GB DIMMs to 1 2GB DIMM, 3 Hard Drives to 1, and cleaned the entire motherboard/cooling systems.
No improvements after performing the aforementioned adjustments.
