I've tried upgrading my machine three times now and have no clue what is happening.
It keeps on failing at around 96% on the finalizing stage and reverting back to windows 7.
"We cannot Install Windows 8 your machine has been reset to the way it was before"
Soon as it hits 96%, my monitor turns itself on standby for a good 25-30 seconds, and then comes back on once windows 7 has been reset. I thought this might have something to do with my display driver. But I can't see any reason for it.
Maybe its a problem with my GPU. But I've searched the web and found no issues with it and windows 8.
Before installation I uninstalled all incompatible drivers and applications. Even ran the upgrade assistant again after each failure just to be sure everything was done. And always says i'm ready for installation.
Here's my specs if its a hardware problem,
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
cpu - i5 3570k Ivy Bridge
mobo - Asus P8Z77-V LX (I've uninstalled AI Suite and USB 3.0 drivers) because they weren't compatible.
ram - 8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz
hdd - 1TB SATAIII 3 6.0Gb/s
gpu - EVGA 2GB Superclocked GTX 660 ti
Thankyou
