64 bit issues

[muddinyoreye]

hello all, and thanks in advance for any help, problem is im tryin to install 2.7 64bit Ultimate Edition on this = MSI k9nu-neo v, amd athlon 64 3500+, 2gigs of 800mhz ddr2, 80gig sata hdd, nvidia 9500gt vid card,,,,,, but dont seem to be gettin anywhere, it installs but when i reboot and remove the live cd, it will not get past the splash screen, it hangs, i reboot agian and then it tells me to insert a bootable media and retry, my question is, is my motherboard MSI K9NU-NEO V 64bit capable? , I would assume so but cant seem to find out lookin around online,it did run windows vista 32 bit before but hated vista, also would a 64bit live dvd iso even try to install on a system that is not capable of running a 64 bit OS ?

Hello muddinyoreye and welcome to the U.E Forum.

You need to understand that , If your Architecture is 32 bit = NO 64 bit will not run on your machine.
If your Architecture is 64 bit, you can run 32 bit as well on your system.

so is it safe to say , that if the live 64bit iso dvd works and brings up the gnome desktop with the installer from the dvd rom and goes throgh the installation process without any problems, that means the systems architechure is fully 64 bit capable?

i am using firefox web browser from the live 64 bit iso dvd right now, seems fully 64 bit capable ie. no problems
,just slower than it would be if i could get it to run from the hard drive.

If you have install the 64 bit on your machine as you have said.
Then you have to log in to your BIOS and change the BOOT option to start up from your HDD.
If you have installed the system once , then there is no need to install it once more right.
So Log in to your BIOS and change the BOOT to start from your HDD and please Update on your issue.

Thank you.
