Cannot Install Win7 RC, Crashes And Restarts Continuously After First Reboot
I have an ASUS M2N68-VM MB with 4GB Ram and a 1TB HD. I have attempted to install Windows 7 64bit RC bit which I downloaded 2 days ago.Windows gets thru the install process, then re-boots the PC for the first time.During the first reboot, I get the the "Windows" screen where the red/green/blue balls move around, then the PC reset and Restarts.
It will continue to do that infinitum.If I try and go to "Safe Mode" windows says it has not finished installed yet and will not let me.The PC was running Unbutu up until now, and has been a stable box working as a Video Server. Nothing wrong with the hardware.Â

Asus A8J Reboot Continuously With No Message After W7 RC Install
I've installed Windows 7 RC on Lenovo R61 with no problem from a Windows XP SP3. I've made the same installation on Asus A8J and after installation phase on Windows XP, the Asus reboots and reboots with no message. I cannot installed any Windows XP after. I must boot on Ubuntu installation and delete and edit partition to boot on hard drive again. I can reinstall Windows XP but not Windows 7, it makes the same bug. The ISO of Windows 7 downloaded are not bootable on any computer Lenovo or Asus. I have downloaded and burned twice.

Reboot Loop - System Restarts
I downloaded the student version of Windows 7. I'm running Vista business so I had to do a clean install which went fine, it went through the first two steps fine (I forget the names) and then says it needs to restart to finish. It restarts, goes to the new windows start up screen (which looks nice), that screen goes away and then shows the cursor for about 5 seconds and then the system restarts. It'll do this for hours. I also have a DVD version of it, tried that, same story. I've tried updating drivers, unplugging everything, and hitting F8, nothing worked. Any other ideas?

Reboot Loop After Install Of Win7 RC
I am having an issue after windows 7 rc installs then reboots on my Asus w3j laptop.What happens is the laptop starts up, then I get the asus bios screen then the laptop reboots, and windows never loads.I had the same issue when windows vista came out, and it was fixed by a BIOS update from ASUS.The previous windows 7 beta version worked fine, so im guess something has changed in the RC so make my laptop go into the reboot loop.

Win7 Install Fails On Last Reboot
I am attempting to install the Windows 7 beta. I am currently running 32 bit Vista on a Dell XPS 720 with a GEForce 8800.I had a spare disk which I installed and formatted. I attempted to install Windows 7 to it. The installation proceeded without incident, but on the last reboot (I think it's the last), the Starting Windows sceen displays, the startup twirling logo displays, and then it displays a 'Windows 7 Beta Build 7000 For testing only' (or some such) message at the bottom right of the screen. The screen is otherwise black.There is some disk activity through the startup, but it then slows and the disk light seems to blink pretty regularly once a second, with no apparnte change in that pattern. I've waited for hours but nothing happened. The mouse can move around the screen, but the install does not proceed. The dual boot was correctly set up and I can freely boot to either system, but each attempt to start up Windows 7 meets the same end.I tried starting Windows7 in safe mode, but I get a message box saying that the intallation cannot complete in safe mode. I tried starting in 640x480 mode, but that had no effect - the install still stalls...Any idea what's going on?

BSOD: Pc Crashes Once In A While , With Blue Screens And Reboot
The pc crashes once in a while , with blue screens and reboot. I had the same prob with winxp so i installed Windows 7 supposing that restarts would stop...But nothing.. So far i have done these: remove the tick on "automatically restart" -> (so i could see the blue screen.. update drivers, with device manager and driver genius -> nothing update bios from asus website -> nothing do check disk -> nothing defrag -> nothing usb legacy support disabled from bios (smwhere read that)->nothing sptd.sys fixed -> nothing Rc task disabled (read that too) -> nothing sleep and hibernation set to never - >nothing run memtest (3.5) but i have difficulties because when it starts testing (single cpu or multiple) at test 2 and 45% reboots. when i choose to run memtest previous version (3.4) it recognizes cpu as pentium 3 and completes the test with 10 errors at test 5. I noticed that asus set to my memories timings 5-5-5-12 and voltage 1,8 , so i put timings 4-4-4-12 and voltage 2.2 (manufacture had these timings although gives voltage 2.0)

Install Restarts After First Boot
I am trying to install Windows 7 Build 7000 on my computer. But it does not seem to want to continue install after the first restart. Here is what I did: I put in the dvd, and boot my computer from the DVD. I set the DVD to be the only boot device in the BIOS. The installer starts. I go through all the steps needed for install. It comes to the first restart, and the computer restarts. After a lot of waiting, the computer brings up the first step to the install. Where it shows the "Install Now" Button. (The install basically starts from step One again). Not sure what I did wrong through all this. My computer Specs are AMD 6400 2.20Ghz, 2 Gigs of Ram, Clean 40 Gig IDE Hard drive, on Different IDE channel then the DVD Drive (Not sure if that is important). Linksys Wireless Add in Card, BFG Nvidia GeForce 9600 GT. So if someone could help me get Windows 7 up and running, that would be great! I forgot to say that I tried to install Windows 7 off a virtual drive from within XP, but that didnt seem to work after the first restart also. It did put the windows boot loader on my computer, but didnt finish the Windows 7 Install. I have a feeling that it tried to over-right my Windows XP install, because the boot loader only comes up when my XP drive is plugged in. When I tried installing 7 with the CD, I had my XP drive unplugged. So if 7 tried to install on my XP drive, how can I get the files off it, that I dont want on it anymore, and install Windows 7 on my other drive, in a XP and 7 Duel-boot.

Win7 Crashes When I Turn Off The Monitor
I'm using the RC1 (build 7100 I believe). I have an nVidia GeForce 8600 GT connected via DVI to an Acer p223w monitor set at 1680x1050 resolution. Windows 7 always crashes (reboots) whenever I turn off the monitor (i.e. I press the power button to turn it off). It doesn't crash if the monitor sleeps (via power saving feature); only when I physically turn the monitor off. It doesn't crash Win XP when I turn off the monitor. And after I installed the June 18, 2009 nVidia (beta) Win 7 WHQL drivers, the problem seemed solved as it no longer crashed (tested only twice and on the same day though) when I turned the monitor off but after about a week or so, it started crashing again. I'm currently using the 64 bit version of Win 7 RC1 but I had the same problem with the 32 bit beta version of Windows 7. With the launch date of Windows 7 coming soon, I hope to have this problem resolved by then.

Win7 Crashes And Reboots On Laptop
I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 model and Windows 7 RC 32 Bits. Usually when I have nothing opened and I disconnect the power cord of my laptop, windows 7 gives me a windows kernel error and it restarts. The chance of this error increases when I have software active, and nearly 100% when I'm gaming, with any game. Why this happens?

Win7 Crashes When Try To Boot Win98 In Virtual PC
So I wanted to install 98se in windows virtual PC just to test it out.The install process didn't go to well, but I finally managed to get to the "loading screen".And then windows 7 gave me a Blue screen that said that the 2nd core did not reply with a clock signal in the alloted time or something of the sort.I realize that WVPC doesn't support 98 (and I was just testing it out not really planning to use it too much) , so I'm not really asking for a fix, rather just alerting Microsoft about this.

Continuously REBOOTS / Schannel Error

Samsung Vista GDI Driver Install Crashes
I have a nice Samsung ML4500. Not that new, but then I don't use my printer very much. But it is useful at times. So... I have the Vista ML4500 GDI driver installation package for it. I run it by right clicking in compatibility mode.I've done this three times now. The first two times, it crashed my machine dead as soon as the Samsung splash screen appeared. Video broke up, screen blanked and then only a hard reset fixed it.Third time, despite same compatibility mode operation, the Samsung installer just tells me that the driver is incompatible with this version of windows. Unfortunately, since it's a prepacked installation in an exe file, I can't get at any of the real files, inf, sys etc to see if I can by pass the installer's front end.I've also tried the Vista GDI drivers for other similiar models, which give me similar results. If anyone has any ideas on how to resolve this, other than approaching Samsung which I think is likely to prove unproductive, I'd love to hear from them! Edit: now, from another post, realised how I can unpack the driver set from the installer. I've done this, but the raw setup.exe still crashes win 7... I've now also tried the right click on the inf file in the Vista 64 subdir of the install package, but it tells me this method of installation is unsupported.

Install Failure When Booting From HDD First Time It Crashes
I tried to install RC1 64Bit on a clean hard disk. It all seemed fine, got trough copy/expand files. Then it boots from hdd for the first time and tells me something about registry settings... and then it crashes, just like a reboot. Next time the boot manager goes up telling me that windows didnt shutdown/boot correctly. When I choose normal boot, it will just crash again (nice boot-crash-loop). When I choose safe mode i can get to desktop gui but a popup tells me that setup cannot finish in safe mode... If formatted the hdd, disconnected all other drives/usb stuff. Updated BIOS to latest. Checked BIOS settings, played around with disabling/enabling onboard audio etc. No luck, several installs, all failed with the same problem. Sad that I dont get any error msg or blue screen/bug check. I also ran windows memory diagnostics - no problems. XP run's fine and now i installed Vista 64Bit, that worked.

Win7 Network On Reboot
When I re-boot the computer my internet access does not work. The network icon has the triangle with exclamation mark and no internet access. I am using blueyonder with a netgear wgr614v9 router. My 2nd computer is running wireless xp to the router and gets connection fine. I am able to fix the problem by running the troubleshooter and then everything works fine until next shut down. Is this a config problem at my end or is windows 7 having a problem??

Dell Precision T3400 Continuously Reboots After Splash Screen
Ok, so I decided to go from the RC to the RTM...all my experiences with Win 7 have been spectacular. No incompatibilities etc. Dell also lists the Precision T3400 as compatible with Windows 7 on its support site, and claims that there are no additional drivers needed (all are available in Win 7). I'm running the T3400 in a factory-configured RAID10 setup with an Intel ICH9R controller on the motherboard. Installed Win 7 beta, RC x64...no issues. Once I upgraded to RTM, however, things got good - right after the 'Starting Windows' splash screen after installation, the computer reboots (and keeps doing so, until I do something to stop it). Going into Safe Mode doesn't help, as Windows says 'Setup cannot be completed in Safe Mode'... I've tried installing on just one HDD (with no RAID), disabling RAID, doing RAID0, RAID1, RAID10...nothing helps. Have also tried manually adding Intel ICH9 drivers through setup, but it wouldn't take (driver could not be installed...). I have now reinstalled the RC, and it's working fine! It's the RTM that is driving me nuts...obviously there is some kind of driver incompatiblity here. How do I go about resolving this? This is a standard config T3400 and I can't believe that I would be the only user to experience these issues.

Shares Inaccessible By XP Until Reboot Of Win7
Ok, another Network problem I'm having is that the 9 shares that I have on my Windows 7 machine are shared among a small network with a couple of Vista machines, 1 Windows 7 machine and a couple of XP machines and even one Mac. Every once in a while when users on the XP machines try to use the shares, they are prompted with a username and password, and no matter what is entered they are not allowed access, even a good account and password on the Windows 7 machine. They are told that the shares cannot be found, however they can still ping the Windows 7 machine, and they previously used the shares for days without problems. A reboot of the XP machine has no effect, however rebooting my Windows 7 (then manually readding the shares) clears it up. Again, WHY

Win7 Setup Bug If Hibernating Before Reboot
I just realized this with the RC, but I'd guess it happens with RTM too.-Start setup from within Vista (x64, Ultimate), clean install to another partition-Wait for step copying files-Hibernate the machine while copying-Wake up the machine, let setup complete-Let setup reboot-Windows 7 Setup boots into PE, but shows the command line, does wpeinit and then stops at the empty command, just like booting a clean pe; starting setup.exe manually from sources fails-Rebooting into Vista tries to launch a cleanup process (even before login) which also fails with error message.

Black Screen On Install Reboot
While trying to get Windows 7 Pro 64bit installed on my computer, I get a black/blank screen near the end of the install after one of the reboots. The computer posts, shows the Windows 7 logo and then just goes black. The hard drive keeps running and is being accessed (for awhile), so I know the computer has not locked, but I cannot get the screen to come on.  I am installing from the $30 student download of Windows 7 Professional Upgrade. I downloaded the ISO from Microsoft and used the Microsoft tool to burn it to a DVD. I have an AMD Athlon X2 4200+ CPU with 4GB of RAM in an ABIT KN8-SLI motherboard; no overclocking or anything like that. I have a single 1TB hard drive that I am doing a clean/custom install to (no other partitions on the drive). My video card is an NVidia 7600GS; it has both VGA and DVI out. My monitor is a ViewSonic VP920b (I have no other monitors). I normally have both the VGA and DVI connections plugged into the monitor, but I usually have the monitor and windows set to use DVI.  The Windows 7 upgrade advisor reports that my hardware is compatible with Windows 7 64bit.  I’ve tried installing with just the DVI cable connected.  I’ve tried installing with just the VGA cable connected. I've tried redownloading the disk image, burning a new disk and reinstalling from the new disk. I’ve tried hitting F8 at boot and starting in low resolution mode.  I’ve tried switching from one output to the other and back while I see the black screen.  I’ve tried installing with all other devices (printer, Bluetooth, scanner, etc.) disconnected.  I’ve tried booting to safe mode: it looks like it is going to work, but then I get an error that setup cannot be completed in safe mode. I’ve made sure my BIOS is up to date.  This computer runs Vista Ultimate 32bit perfectly. I’ve left it running for a month, while doing tons of gaming, etc., and I never get any errors, lockups or reboots, so I am pretty sure the hardware is solid. The most common reason I have to reboot is the monthly Microsoft patch releases.  In all, I've tried installing from scratch about 15 times, using the above permutations, with exactly the same result.Does anyone have any suggestions?

RC Hangs During First Reboot During Clean Install
Installed RC from a slow-burned DVD using ISO of RC 64-bit Ultimate I got from MSDN Subscription Upon first reboot after copying files from DVD, gets to a black screen with the version and "Evaluation Copy" in the bottom right + mouse pointer. I can move the mouse but there is nothing to click upon and no right-click menu. Keys do nothing. No activity at all at this point (I waited over an hour). Repeated the process from (1) above using a different DVD just in case there was something wrong with the first one, with the same result. Tried booting in safe mode after step (2); screen displayed message to the effect that it was Installing Windows (did not see this when not in safe mode) but then popped up a message stating that it could not install in Safe Mode so wasn't able to continue. Any suggestions? System Spec: HP Pavilion d4990y Desktop PC

Install Upgrade, After Final Reboot, No Boot
I have vista on my first partition, 7rc on the third (second is vista data). I had read about how you could upgrade from the release candidate and wanted to try it. Everything seemed to go fine, until the very final reboot. (Windows was upgraded to the new version). I saw my regular boot menu again, but then windows restarted the machine one last time, and when it came back up it just sat there, nothing happened forever. And Vista won't boot anymore either - I do not even get a boot menu. Just a blank screen with a flashing cursor, and nothing happening.... I tried the repair options, but windows can't find any of my system restore points (I did set a number of them!) neither vista nor 7. From a command prompt I did try to run bcdedit and it shows that my original boot menu should still be there, but the system is unable to find it. I am completely stumped. Can someone please indicate what to do to get my system to boot?
