Trying to dual boot with Windows 7, already have that installed. I get to partition manager in the install, but in the middle of partitioning (it does finish i have looked from windows after installation fails) the screen starts flashing to different screens. One is black, one is the partition manager, and the other is a checklist with something about the battery, at the bottom. After that it goes to an error message that says, "your display has tried to shut down 6 times in the last 90 seconds it is very likely that something bad is happening."

I tried installing with my integrated graphics I had before I got a 8800 Nvidia card. It had that same problem. I thought it was because there were no drivers for the video, so i got the card, but i'm still having the same problem. I tried using the regular 64 bit disc, and the alternative (text based) 64 bit disc. Both failed.

I believe i have the Asus M4A78 Pro AM2+ ATX motherboard. (http://microcenter.com/single_produc...uct_id=0306947)

I have a Nvidia 8800 overclocking speced video card. (not overclocked yet)

4gb of OCZ RAM.

1 TB Seagate or Western Digital HDD.

650 Watt power supply (or 600)

And a CD drive

I really have no idea what could be causing this.
Thanks for any help!

I'm sorry not to be able to help much with this, but I have to say that is the coolest error message I've seen in ages:

your display has tried to shut down 6 times in the last 90 seconds it is very likely that something bad is happening

Might be worth checking the power settings in the BIOS, and turning off any power saving settings temporarily.

That's almost as cool as the classic "printer is on fire"
