All, I have a custom built desktop that my friend and I built about 3 months ago. One day, it would not startup (It would just get stuck on the windows loading screen). I tried startup repair, using a LiveCD to fix any registry errors with no avail. So, I decided to reinstall the system all together. I deleted ALL existing partitions on my hard drive. The install seemed to be successful until the very last steps where windows is "setting up your computer for first time use" (or something like that). It then restarts and the screen flashes blue with white text aka the blue screen of death. I can't read it because it goes by to fast. It then goes to the advanced boot screen where it asks me to restart and do a repair. I can choose "safe mode" but that just causes it to repeat the cycle again. Repair just tells me that windows cannot automatically repair. At this point, I'm beginning to think its a hardware problem but seeing as I JUST bought and put this thing together, I really hope its not. Anyone have other solutions? Thanks.

Hey all, So, my computer came with Windows 7 Home Premium installed. It's got a sticker on it with the license number. However, the manufacturer (Gateway) did not provide me with an installation disc. Sadly, my computer has recently become infected with malware. I want to do the safe thing and perform a complete re-partition, re-format, and re-install. How can I get an installation disc for Windows 7?
