    I'm experience problems with X18-1013TX that I acquired recently.

    I can't seem to get windows 7 to install at all. Infact I can't get any OS to install on it. The best I can get is Linux running off USB drive.

    I have tried 2 sets of ram both pass memtest and 2 hard drives that also pass tests.

    I've manually updated the bios as well and still no luck.

    When I run windows 7 from boot it goes through windows is loading files and goes to starting windows and just stops and nothing happens.

    I have tried using DVD and even putting it on USB stick but nothing works.

    Does anyone have any ideas of what the problem could be.

    Thanks.
