Hi Folks ,
I want to say thank you for your suggestions about getting Snow Leopard install disk . :) Anyway Im trying to install Windows 7 on a partition I created , easy enough but.. I used Bootcamp 4.0.4033
to install the drivers and now when I boot to Windows after about 5 seconds it goes to BSOD.Re-boots and BSOD again, in a cycle...

Am I using the wrong bootcamp or what? I upgraded to El Capitan. Should I reinstall Snow Leopard and go from there or what?

Can someone please direct me to maybe a forum topic about Windows 7 installation procedure and boot camp use? Youtube hasn't been the greatest help. I like my iMAC its simple and straight forward but I do have some Windows programs that I would like to continue using. Mainly Games that wont run on OS X.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm literally banging my head against the wall on this .. I cannot get Windows 7 Home to run on this early 2009 iMAC 20 inch. I mean Windows installs, but afterwards I install the Boot Camp drivers and Poof' BSOD. Can anyone help me PLEASE? I have a Snow Leopard CD Installed that , then upgraded to El Capitan.. I used 4.0.4033 Boot Camp.
I've read elsewhere on the forum that it could be the video driver that Bootcamp installs that might be causing the BSOD.
I'm almost to the point of selling this thing and just buying a new (or used ) AM3 Mobo for my PC. I need windows to run Cakewalk Sonar DAW.. Any help would be greatly appreciated folks :)
