Specs m2a68 MB. 2g memory.7900 gs video card. 32g "tor x " 2 s.s.d. boot drive. Le 1640 processor. Not a cutting edge system I grant you.
Initially this system threw various errors during install. Causing a bit of head scratching. PCB corruption. Unexpected interrupt. And other screens of death. And this system rebooting. Since this DVD burn worked originally for another install. First replacement. DVD drive. No dice. Next step was cleaning system box. Better speed in BIOS. Still not working. Memory corruption? This lead me to use memtest. Corruption confirmed. Yes memory test from Microsoft failed. System booted!

Next step would have been replacing the thermal paste or replacing the processor. But basic troubleshooting allowed X64 developer install.
