I have a windows 7 32 bits on my computer. Because i have 5 gb of ram (kingston) on my asus M2N motherboard and only 3 were able to be used, I bought W7 x64 and install it. It loads the wizard, but after a while, it freezes, and I have to force reboot. It first crashed while unzipping w7 files, but if I wait a while on the terms page for example, it can crash before, which make me think that it is a matter of time. I remember I had the same issue while booting on Ubuntu x64, it crashed randomly but not load completely. No bip or other messages. Configuration:

Software
    OS (before) W7 x86 Pro
    New OS : W7 x64 Pro
    Antivirus : avast (bios verification ?)    
    BIOS  03/27/2008 - v08.00.12
Hardware :
    Motherboard : Asus M2N 
    Processor : AMD Athlon 64 dualcore @ 2.6 GHZ
    Memory : 5120 MB ((2 + 2) + (1))

NOTES : I ran a memory test using openSUSE cd, though i have not finished it, it ran.

EDIT: I tried not to run the setup but wait, and i get the BSOD :

A problem... TL;DW

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

If it is.. TL;DW

***STOP: 0x0000000A (0x0000000000000000,0x0000000000000002, 0x0000000000000001, 0xFFFFF8001A49ED1F)
