The clean install required updates, drivers and apps from HP. I'd start with the factory OS then update it.

I Have A Compaq Persario F 700 With A Clean Install Of Windows 7 sp1 Went To Update System And Now It Gets Stuck In Reboot and Displays A Blue Screen and Goes To Screen Saying Your Computer Did Not Shut Down Properly Please Restart With Options Safe mode ?safe Mode With Internet? Etc Etc!! Never Goes Past That Even Though Windows Tries To Open It Never Does!! But I Can Remove The Hard Drive Put It In My Desk Top And It Works Fine?? Can Anyone Shed Some Light On This Problem??
