Upgrading Dell Dimension E521 to Windows 7
I am working on a Dimension E521 32-bit Windows XP machine and I am trying to upgrade to Windows 7. I chose Custom Install from an upgrade disc. Once the computer rebooted it got to the Windows splash screen and stayed there for about 10 minutes. I then got the following BSOD.
0x0000007b (0x80786B58, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000). There is no other useful information on the BSOD.
I have scoured the internet and found that this could be the hard drive controller or the drive itself. Dell's site does not list this model as being Windows 7 compatible even though Upgrade Advisor passes the system specs.
System has a AMD 64 3200 Processor, and 4GB of RAM.
Any and all help is appreciated.
