I have been having a lot of blue screens for the past few weeks. I have tried running a disk check and memcheck and those didn't find any problems. I just did a fresh install of windows 7 64 bit and have been having the same problems.
View 9 RepliesWindows 7 Pro x86 (32-bit) Original installed OS OEM Age of system (hardware): 2010 December Age of OS installation: Two days. I did complete SFC /SCANNOW without any errors. I've run a diagnostic on the memory that didn't turn up anything and my case is running cool. I have several others from the same lot that are all working well (including the one I'm on now). I did get my first BSOD this time around after install of SP1 install without restart yet. After installing AVG (I know...) it occurred again. I can't really give this computer to anyone until it doesn't crash randomly.

I have recently (4 days ago)aquired a new Crucial 128Gb ssd drive and performed a clean installation of windows 7 64bit, since then i have been experiencing random BSODs (3 times so far)All software is genuine. Have performed full malware and antivirus check. Results are clean.
So I was getting a lot of BSODs (one every 10 minutes once I logged in) and it was a DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE and I couldn't figure out which driver it was. Finally I bought a new SSD and took my old HDD out and did a clean install of Windows in hopes that the BSODs would stop. To my displeasure, they keep coming back. I have a Toshiba A505-S6975 and all of my drivers appear to be up to date according to Windows (although they all say they are from 2009).

Attached are my dump files.
i just downloaded windows 7 rc x64.
at first i wanted to upgrade from 7000, but after the first reboot i saw blue... (BSOD)
then i thought, it would be better to do a clean install, burned the ISO on DVD and again saw BSOD even before installation progress has started (after Windows had collected information and first boot)...
now to my question:
is the BSOD caused by a bad ISO, or is anything wrong with my system?
by the way: Beta 1 Build 7000 x64 works fine.
I am trying to install windows 7 on a MSI PM8M3-V motherboard, but every time it gets to the "completing installation" step, it BSOD's and doesn't give me enough time to read the errors before it restarts. I have tried everything, I installed xp just fine, and ran the W7 upgrade advisor, and it says everything is fine. BIOS is updated, every setting in the BIOS has been fudged with to no avail. no memory problems, disk errors, etc. I tried installing with everything disconnected, and a different AGP video card, still nothing I've tried installing from DVD-ROM and USB, both give the same result The crazy thing is that this board, memory, HDD combo has had W7 installed and running fine before, it's just when I put it into a new case it is not installing.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI use a 1.5 year old aces aspire 5738z and I think it just died on me. Here is what happens. Whatever I do it cannot stay without a BSOD for more than 10 minutes. I tried reinstalling drivers and it did not change anything so I tried several things but finally just formated it and installed windows again. I actually got a BSOD while installing windows from an original CD so im pretty sure my problem is hardware related. I did a check of the ram with Memtest for approx 45 minutes (one full cycle) and found nothing. I did a quick test of the HD with an other program and it did not find anything either so im starting to think its the graphics card that is dying.
Here are some specs

I have just installed windows 7 64-bit Ultimate. I have Tested RAM (MemTest), HDD (windows), SSD(windows), GPU (Furmark)
BSOD:
1. Running only windows update, no drivers or any other software installed.
2. Running windows update and using browser (Google Chrome), AV (Microsoft Security Essentials)
3. Booted in Safe Mode with network connection.

So I received a solid state drive for Christmas last year and haven't had any luck with installing it. I'm doing everything I can to rule out that it was DOA considering that at this point it's probably past warranty and I don't really wanna drop the money on a new one.I've tried to replicate the crashes but have had no luck. There appears to be no conditions required for the system to crash, so my initial thought was some kind of hardware malfunction.
View 4 Replies View RelatedSo i upgraded my motherboard/chip a month or so ago and everything seemed to be working great. The part that worried me was when I swapped out the Mobo/chip,I didnt do a clean install because i had no way to back up any information. (there was really nothing important to back up besides 20gb of music and my saved game files). So what I did was after the swap, I put in the reinstallation disc, chose custom options, installed a custom version of windows and copied over my User folder from the "windows.old" file in to the new User folder. Something didn't feel right, despite ecerything working jsut fine, so I made this post a while back:

Now, last night, I finally recieved my 32GB flash drive in the mail so I can do everything the correct way. I copied my User file over to the flash drive and found a guide on-line with screenshots on how to correctly do a clean install. 1 hour later I had a new version of Windows on my HDD and alomst instantly I started to have BSODs, one after another!!
Most, if not all BSODs had the 0x00000124 code. After doing a simple google search, I found that this is a vague hardware issue Yes, I OC'd my cpu. Its a i7 2600k. Why wouldn't I? NO, I didn't revert my mobo to the default settings before doing the clean install. Can this be part of the issue?
Random thoughts/information:
-After the clean install, I used the mobo disc to install drivers
-After the clean install, I used the EVGA disc to install drivers, as well as went to their website to get the lastest (i got the driver dated 2/21/2012)
-I use a wireless mouse and wireless keyboards (logitech) and the dongles were left in while doing the clean install
-My HDD is 1 TB in capacity. For some reason it says only 931GB in the control panel. (this is big concern, because before I did the mobo swap/custom install, i could have sworn it said 1024GB
-Am I looking at needing to wipe the drive entirely? Using DBAN or something rather than just a clean install?
I have installed all betas I could find, all were/are running fine. But the RC is a lot of pain. It fails into BSOD at the last step of the install "Completing installation". The error reads BAD_POOL_HEADER. I tried 64bit only.
I verified the ISO checksums, I have read the recommendations here, tried Safe mode, disabled display, installed from disc or from inside Windows, from HDD, changed BIOS settings to safe defaults... No luck. I even tried to integrate newest video drivers from nvidia.com using vLite.
My PC is Q6600, Gigabyte P35ds3l, 6Gb ram, evga Nvidia 8800gts, old WD Raptor 74Gb, USB mouse and kbd, Dell lcd.
The blue screen seem to accour when trying to load a Cubase (music production program) file, randomly. Can work for hours without anything happening.Can someone plz tell me what file it's pointing to? Or if its hardware related.So far I only get blue screens when my firewire sound card is connected and I'm running Cubase. But I don't wanna blame the sound card - it's too expensive for that Before reinstalling windows last BSOD was pointing related to OrangeWare Corp. (usbehci.sys) - I have NO idia what this file is.Could it be my PSU? 2 years old 560w Hiper - Supposed to be high quiality.Should I run my memory using bios XMP profile? Tried it once, but the cpu got hotter so i disabled it.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a re-install of all components following a complete corruption of the boot sector on my drive which could not be fixed with repairs. The last time I installed everything fresh, I had no issues. Between then and now, there have been no hardware changes on my system, but now I am having issues installing the IDT Codecs. I keep getting an error along the following lines: Quote: ExitError: Error=Device Object not present, restart the system and run setup again. Running under compatibility mode, and running drivers from both the motherboard CD and the manufacturer website both have the same effect. The CD, when booted, says "This OS not support!" and only contains 32-bit vista codecs. ECS' website download indicates the IDT drivers as being compatible with Windows 7. Both do not work. It is almost as if the hardware "disappeared," despite the fact that I was using the drivers quite successfully till just 2 days ago, when the boot sector went kaput.
Windows has installed its own default set, which do nothing to power the 8mm jacks which I use with my speakers, but instead put sound through the HDMI, which is useless because I use a dedicated graphics card. I have tried uninstalling this codec and re-installing IDT, to no effect. Windows replaces with its own default codec.I have referenced this thread here, but offered solutions do not seem to work for me: Intel IDT Audio Driver will not install
Does anyone know whether there is a difference in performance between doing a clean install of Windows 7 vs upgrading Vista? Any better stability? I'm just wondering whether it's worth the trouble of the clean install.

View 9 Replies View Relatedfirst I would like to apologize for not writing this thread according to BSOD post instructions but my problem is so specific that I am not able to comply with them. My problem follow thread I have posted here a week ago, I have purchased new SSD from Kingston (SSDNow V200 128GB) a few weeks ago. But I was not able to install Windows 7 on it (BSOD all the time). I thought that I have got damaged SSD, so I claimed it in my vendor. The claim was solved in the way that I have got new same SSD (only exchange for new one was performed). So i tried to perform clean install of Windows 7 32 bit CZ Pro SP1 on it, but again, during installation process I have got a lot of BSODs. So I changed mode from AHCI to ATA in BIOS. After that I successfully performed installation and booted into win 7. I changed back mode to AHCI according to this tutorial: Improve SATA hard disk performance (Convert from IDE to AHCI) and everything was ok. I started to install updates (via windows update), but after installation and reboot I got BSOD again.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI originally did the upgrade install of Windows 7 from Vista to Windows 7. I am seeing that I now am running "ChkDsc" every time that my computer is shut down.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm an IT student who got a free Win 7 x64 disk from my school, and I am unable to do a clean install. My system specs are as follows:
Intel Core 2 Duo 3.12 Ghz
nVidia GeForce 9800 GTX 512 MB PCI-e
320 GB Western Digital HD SATA
1 Gb DDR2 1066 MHz and 2x2Gb DDR2 1066 MHz SDRAM
I set my boot sequence to boot from DVD-ROM drive first, and HD second. It goes to the "Windows is loading files" screen and gets hung up. I started the process and went to watch TV for an hour, and it is still on the "Windows is loading files" screen. I haven't gotten any error messages. I've unplugged all USB devices from my computer as I have seen on this forum that it has worked for some people.
edited to add: I originally had only 2 Gb of RAM, and it got hung up at the "Windows is loading files" screen. I thought it was getting hung up because I didn't have enough RAM, so I bought brand new 2 sticks of 2 Gb RAM. I took out one of the 1 Gb sticks and placed both of the 2 Gb of RAM...for a total of 5 Gigs. And, it is still doing the same thing.
so for about 5 days, i have experienced random and sporadic bsod, before that it was normal and stable. i did my installation on my os on october 2011. i'm quite sure it's graphic driver but i've clean installed almost 10 times and still crashing. it crashes randomly when i opened a Internet video or open a video file, everything regarding to video. i'm already feeling hopeless here
my specs are
win 7 64 bit home premium (not oem)

my os is located on my ssd which is an intel 510 120 gb
i got 1 tb hard drive caviar green
i got 500 gb hard drive caviar green
and 250 gb seagate (really old, it's ide iirc)
i've uploaded the minidump and system performance, i hope i did right on the attachment (first time posting here).
I'm finding this decision quite hard to decide on and can't decide what to do. I am very picky about wasted space or unnecessary stuff on my hard drive, yet I'd rather not install everything all over again which will take about 20 hours or so.
My question is...if I do an upgrade-install, can I just delete everything in the Windows.old folder and have everything practically the same as a clean install? Or will there be still be some left over things from the hundreds of programs I've installed and uninstalled?
Edit: I've ran the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor and everything seems ok.
My 2 year old laptop is starting to get sluggish so I'm wondering if I should try to do a clean install of my Home Premium Windows. Problem is, the computer came with no disks. Also, I'm assuming that the Backup and Restore function that's built in would only give me a copy of my crap-filled hard drive contents if I "made" the backup (to an external disk, presumably) then "restored" it to my freshly formatted internal drive. right? So, can I make my OWN clean disks with some utility on the machine? Or do I have to BUY another copy of Windows 7 Home Premium? Or will Best Buy provide me with one if I take my machine in? Or will Lenovo provide one?
