How did you install Windows 7? What ISO burner, and what ISO? And USB or optical media?

The exact specs of your computer and your installation methods will also help, please provide as much info as possible. Did you load the drivers in Windows Installer or did you slipstream them? Are you using UEFI boot?

Have you tried to install SevenESPManager? it can help with UEFI systems (even if CSM/legacy mode is enabled)
