I have a problem...not sure hardware or software Win 8

[achanth]

I bouught Win 8 64-bit but found it could not be installed; however, with a Win 8 32-bit, it could be installed.
I read here and there but perhaps it pointed to a need for an ISO Image, as in Win7, where it ask you if you need to install 32 bit or 64 bit.
The win8 64 bit just hang there.
1. Where can I get an ISO Image which will allow me to install 64-bit Win8?
2. Alternative, is get a WinXP 64 bit then install Win 8 64-bit, I am told, after partioning and formatting 64-bit

Anybody can help? I am in KL?
Any suggestions?
For some unknown reason, I cannot upgrade to 8.1 in Oder to upgrade to Win 10.
Thanks for any help you can suggest.

go to microsoft, Media Creation Tool and do a clean image.
You can choose the OS(32bit or 64bit) u wanna install..u need a thumbdrive with atleast 4gb

from Xp jump to win 8 better to do a clean image instead of upgrade..

towards near bottom, they mention abt hypertransport set 1 instead of auto, & not using hdmi...

I have a problem....

Thanks hlots123 and uniquely_ad:
I downloaded media creation but could not proceed further....
I read the ASUS ABN, similar problems.
My computer motherboard is Tyan with 64 x2 cpu: 64 bit just hang; 32 bit install ok, tried to update to Win 10 32-bit, could not proceed since the Win8 cannot upgrade to Win8.1, so cannot upgrade to 10.
Frustrating, as I read that media creation tool can help download, but cannot.

Will read further and see how... Meanwhile?

I still have a problem

have tried media creation tool...does not work
therefore, tried to update win8 32 version to 8.1 to win10...also stuck as cannot upgrade to win8.1...shows error code 0x80075007..

This win8 64xbit is most difficult....will keep trying...

With hardware this old I would question whether the 64 bit features are fully supported

Give up hope of installing 64-bit OS, stick to 32-bit till hardware gone up lorry. I came across an old laptop having this issue too.

not sure if settings similar, http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=169&num=3

Inside of the Advanced Chipset Features, the HT (Hyper Transport) Frequency can be set to 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, or auto.
