CPU Change And Now Can't Boot?
Oct 14, 2011
I changed my CPU from an Athlon II x4 overclocked to 3.5GHz to a Phenom II x6 1090T and my computer will not past POST. When I turn on my PC, my motherboard displays a red light next, which is indicated DRAM_LED. I did remove the overclock and reset the voltages and RAM clock, but it seems the board keeps rebooting to display this red light. I have listed my specs if anyone needs more information. Is 650w enough for a 6950, 8GB's RAM and a Phenom 1090T?

I have installed a year before UBUNTU on my pc with dual boot (i.e. use either window 7 or ubuntu).the NTFS partition that contains the UBUNTU was corrupted and i wanted to take the dual boot from my PC. I used the instructions from the web site: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-...t-environment/but the disk management tool would not let me delete the NTFS partition.Could any one help me delete the NTFS partition and use just windows 7 as the only boot. step by step help would be great.

I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium, 64 bit, on a Gateway, motherboard is EG43M. It is a dual-core Pentium, CPU E5300 @ 2.60GHz.
I have a virus that calls for running Windows Defender Offline. I'm trying to boot my PC from a USB drive to run WDO, but it doesn't work. I've tried pressing F12 on startup to enter the Boot Menu to change it. How do I gain entry to the Boot Menu to change to boot from USB drive?

I downloaded the RC from the microsoft site. While attempting to install every is good and going well and I am doing an custom install which is supposed to be a clean install. I get really far in after expanding files and a couple reboots and while completing the installation near the end i receive the error:
Windows could not change the boot configuration. Windows installation cannot continue.
I have looked around for the answer and it requires you to go into registry and change some things. However I can no longer get back into the orginal OS because I choose to do a clean install rather than an upgrade. Cause I felt this would be the best option for me. I just bought a new hard drive hopeing it will fix the problem but I would rather not use it.
is there any way to fix this problem without a new harddrive? And is there a way to wipe the hard drive for a true clean install without being able to get into the OS? Thanks for any help

My Windows 7 came with a minimal boot screen that only shows bars going across (like XP but without logo). I opened msconfig to see if the No GUI boot was selected, but it wasn't. I tried change the boot screen with Win7BootUpdater, but that didn't work, either.

Does anyone know if it is possible (will be possible) to change the Win 7 boot screen?I have read that MS have built Win 7 so that the boot screen cannot be fiddled with, thus protecting the PC against changes more than earlier windows version have done

I have the backroundchanger.exe from Brink's tutorial, but wondered - How can I setup an automatic wallpaper change each bootup? Say for example rotate through the images in my shared picture folder. The program in the tut doesn't seem to allow this - is there any other way?

I don't know if this one can be done. I know how to turn off the ding sound it makes when my computer boots up but does anyone know how to change the boot screen animation? I would like to put one of my own animations on there instead of the windows logo popping up from 4 little lights.

I have a dual Ubuntu 11.10 and Windows 7 Home Basic booting system on my laptop (VAIO, specs at the end). Each time I switch on my laptop, Ubuntu's GRUB first shows me the options as to which OS to boot from. The choices include Ubuntu and Windows 7. To install Ubuntu,I made a 25 GB unallocated volume on my hard disk. Recently, while updating Ubuntu to its latest version, my internet crashed and the download only partly succeeded. After that, I have never been able to use Ubuntu on my laptop. However, GRUB is still functioning; each time I switch on, I still see the options as to which OS to boot from. If I choose Windows 7, then I get the usual Windows 7 Booting screen.Basically, I now have 25GB of space lying unusable on my machine. I want to merge this with one of my other partitions. However, I fear that doing so would delete GRUB and make my laptop impossible to boot. What steps should I take? Is there any way whereby I can safely delete Ubuntu and change the boot sequence from GRUB to the Windows boot program? (I guess it is BOOTMGR.EXE)

A friend of mine has a 5 year old Vaio which is now so slow it's basically unuseable, so I said I would wipe it and put XP or 7 on it, but am having some problems.I want to get into setup to change the boot order so that I can use a memory stick or a DVD to boot Windows but there is a password on the setup. I spoke to my friend and he claims that he bought the computer and set it up himself, and has never been into the BIOS. Are there any default passwords for Sony's?

I have one drive that has been patitioned into C & D drives. Both had Windows 7 on it however, my C drive was much fuller. I had no way to back up everything so I moved anything I wanted to save from D to C so I can reformt D & reinstall Windows 7. Then I plan to do the same vise-versa, once I have time to sort throught everything. Until then I would like it to boot with D. Keep in mind booth are win 7.

I own Windows 7 Enterprise N, and was wondering, is there any way to change the defaut log on and boot up screen? Everything from when it boots from off to on basically? I have seen stuff on wincustomize.com but the boot screen software is not supported by windows 7 and I'm not sure if the logon screen software is free or buggy even.

well i wanted to change an old laptop to an ssd and I was wondering whether I could in fact do this wothout the licence becoming invalid. it has a COA but it doesn't say oem or have a manufacturers name on it. I googled it and it said you could change most if not the motherboard; but i read conflicting opinions on whether you could change the main boot drive

Originally I had a small solid-state hard drive on this set up. I added a non-solid-state hard drive later. Recently, my solid-state drive, the C Dr., became too full to upgrade certain software programs such as Dragon NaturallySpeaking. I purchased a second solid-state hard drive.I "mirrored" that second solid-state hard drive. To make sure that Windows was operating appropriately, I rebooted and hit F10. I then showed the new solid-state hard drive. Everything booted perfectly and the new solid-state hard drive was noted as the C Dr.When I rebooted into bios to change the hard drive boot order so that the new second solid-state hard drive would be the first in the priority, when I highlighted it and exited from it,it still showed the original solid-state hard drive as the first hard drive.I have never had this problem before. I now have to go into F10 every time I boot into my computer and highlight the new solid-state hard drive.

I have successfully formatted my second HD into 3 partitions: Windows 7 x86, Windows 7 64 bit, and XP. The startup menu works fine but the two Windows 7 lines are the same. I may not be using the correct term for startup menu, but it is the one that appears when dual booting. Anyway, I would like to find the file so I can change the two identical lines to different lines. That is, instead of both saying "windows 7" I can change them to "Windows 7 x86" and Windows 7 x64" or something like that. Anybody know where that file is?

I just built a new PC and currently trying to install windows 7 64 bit Home ed for the first time. It gets pretty far into the install but errors out stating that "Windows could not change the computer's boot configuration." My BIOS has the latest version (Asus P8Z68/PRO/Gen3).

I forgot my windows password, so I created an Ophcrack ISI Image DVD. When I try this the bios shows my DVD drive in the list of bootable devices, and I select it, save changes, and exit bios, the computer then tries to boot from the hard drive (not the DVD drive selected) and obviously starts up asking for my windows password which I do not have. WHY won't the bios allow me to change the bootable drive to DVD?
