I have installed a Toshiba SSD on my desktop which has an Asus P8Z68-V motherboard. Windows loaded ok but when I install the driver for my GTX550Ti graphics card, windows will only boot to the windows logo and no further. If I uninstall the driver using safe mode, windows will then load.
I recently bought an Asus N55SL laptop. It came pre-installed with Win 7 Home Premium on a 750GB drive.I bought a 120GB SSD, and would like to replace the HDD with it. The HDD came with a recovery partition on it, When I started the laptop for the first time, I made Asus recovery disks that can be used to restore the laptop to factory conditions. However, when i try to use those to recover to the SSD, it appears to work, but when it's "setting up windows for first time use" it goes into a rebooting loop. I'm assuming that the disk image made by the recovery program on the 750gb HDD can't be applied to the 120gb SSD. I've read that SSds work better with fresh installs of Windows anyway.So, how can I install windows on my SSD using the Win 7 product key that came with my laptop? I tried installing another copy of Win7 Home Premium that I had, but the license key wouldn't work for it. I called Asus support but they didn't give me any useful info.
I have an Asus P6T SE Motherboard with 6gb RAM, Core I7 etc and 3 x Samsung 1.5tb disks. Purchased specifically for RAID config. I wish to RAID 0 2 of the disks and then use the third to back up data.
I initially set up the rig with RAID 5, it was a disaster for me (using the built in Intel sotrage manager) as I had a slight error and it was still rebuilding the array some 3 days later so I decided to cut my losses and go to RAID 0.
The problem I now have is that despite Windows 7 seeming to install correctly, when it comes to the reboot section (just before 'completing installation) the machine cannot find a bootable device!!! I am removing the USB key at this stage to stop it from starting all over again.
it reports 'reboot and select proper device, or select boot media etc'
I have already tried
- Destroying and rebuilding the array with different sizes in case Windows 7 struggles with large boot partitions
- Resetting BIOS to defaults
Even reverting to an IDE set up and this still wont boot!
Can you help guys, I cant see how the PC could have been corrupted at a pre OS level that would stop the disks from working as I have configured. But nothing would surprise me.
I'm pretty proficient with general use on computers and I want to install Windows 7 pro x64 on my new rig. On the Asus website driver support only goes to vista, and I have read that the vista x64 drivers are not supported for Windows 7. how to install Windows 7 on this machine? I get into installation and it asks for a CD/DVD drive device driver is needed to carry on etc. I am just wondering if that is a driver for the DVD ROM or another device on the mobo.
I'm building a new pc with a Asus M3N78-EM mb and AMD Phenom 9600. I tried installing Windows 7 Ultimate (Bld 7000) 64 bit and was getting the BSOD around the point of expanding files during the install. I tried a couple times, same results. I then updated to the latest bios for the mb and tried installing again. The install goes much further, during the part of "completing install" i get the BSOD.
I tried 3 more times, everytime BSOD around the same part of the install. Can someone tell me if this is a mb bios issue, a bad cpu issue or a windows 7 64-bit issue? I tried installing Windows 7 beta 32-bit, and this installed successfully on the first try. This is nothing fancy with my new system, 4 gb (1066) GSkill memory, all default bios settings, sata hd's (non raid).
I have been working on this for about 5 hours now, searching many forums, downloading drivers, changing Bios settings, etc... but nothing is working. I realize there is a compatibility issue with KV8 and Win7 but a guy at Asus said it might be able to be fixed with certain drivers. I have been fooling around with VIA and Fasttrak 378.
My hard drive is working fine as I am using it right now, but when I get to the Win7 installation to choose where to save it, it does not detect a hard drive. This happened when I tried to install XP pro 64 a while ago as well. How can I make it appear? My system is:
ABS built Asus K8V SE Deluxe AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 2gb G.Skill Ram 160gb Maxtor SATA hd
I guess I'm confused as to why my hard drive is even RAID configured being that there is only 1.
I have tried installing on 1 stick of ram, the old HDD is unplugged, have deleted the partitions, running bios in AHCI mode using 6gb/sec cable, when I look in the drive some windows files have been copied onto the SSD and it is accessable. It is a Corsair Force series 3 120Gb.
I just put together an i7 rig today with the Asus P6T motherboard. I'm having a problem with it detecting any of my PCI cards though. I installed the latest drivers for Windows 7 from the Asus site. It claims the driver installed and reboots, but then it doesn't start auto-detecting my PCI cards. Therefore I can't install my sound card or wireless card.
I am trying to install Windows 7 on my pc (fresh install) I have the Asus P5N-D Mobo. When Windows 7 gets to the screen to select the drive to install it on, it's blank. I have tried the P5N-D driver disk. Have tried Vista and XP driver's but nothing seems to work. Is there any other reason why Windows 7 can't see my 250 gb hard drive? System specs below:
Just upgraded to windows 7. The only problem is that Windows blocks the drivers needed for my TV Tuner. A (ASUS PVR-416, Hauppauge Conexant 2388x (BlackBird))
I rolled back the drivers and they sort of work . They are not blokced but the picture is normal for about 30 seconds before going blocky and pixelated.
I believe this to be a driver issue, but can not find the right drivers anywhere, This Tv tuner came out my old HP computer. I have been to the HP web site and have used their drivers. They are all the drivers i have. The ones the get blocked or give me a bad picture.
I have contacted Hauppauge and ASUS and no reply yet from either.
Any Help would be great. I am a college student so I use my computer as my tv and do not have the funds to purchase a new tv tuner card.
I have an Asus K8N-VM motherboard with AMD Sempron 300+. Win7 will not recognize the sound card, and I cannot install the drivers that I use with WinXP.
So I am using the Asus M2A-Vm motherboard. Now, the board says it is ready for Vista and since people are saying that Windows 7 is pretty much backwards compatible, I thought I'd give it a try. I went from XP to Windows 7. The installation went fine, other than the long boot time(I'm assuming it's from BIOS or drivers).
Here's my problem. When I try to install the drivers the setup will start like normal but then say "Your OS is not supported".Bummer. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem with this board or know of a fix. I'm going to try to update the BIOS and see if that will fix anything since it hasen't been updated since '07.
edit: Because of this issue I've also not been able to install drivers for my GPU which is a nVidia 8600GT.
So, I have recently installed Windows 7 and am having problems not connecting to the wireless Internet in the house that I was able to connect to before. I have looked around for answers and haven't really got any real answers.
Thought I'd share a little bit of info I picked up while settings up Seven on my new rig.
Found that the driver CD that comes with the motherboard doesn't work off the bat. Auto-play doesn't like Seven for whatever reason, so what I ended up doing was browsing the CD and running the setup executable in compatibility mode for Vista, worked like a charm. Called ASUS to find out if they had any beta Seven drivers and turns out they more than likely will not be releasing anything until after Seven goes RTM. The only issue I still have is a list of System Interrupt Controllers as unknown devices in device manager. Aside from that, everything works great so far!
Since installing windows 7 i have the problem that when typing on my Asus pro 80 laptop the cursor frequently jumps to somewhere else in the text fields. This can happen in any application from word to like now where I am typing into a forum.
I am fairly certain that this is not a hardware problem as the laptop worked perfectly before doing a clean install from Vista .
What I have noticed is that the device manager shows two devices with drivers missing , but it cannot identify what the devices are. I have attached the screen shots showing this . maybe this has nothing to do with the keyboard issue.
Any help would be really appreciated as my lap top is virtually unusable as it is .
I just upgraded my laptop from vista to windows 7 ultimate and I am having a few problems that maybe some of you could help me with?
Well first off it doesn't recognize my flash drive. It shows up in the "Device Manager" but it doesn't in "My Computer". Could I be missing a driver or something? Also It wont read disks in "My Computer" Either? Like wtf I thought this was supposed to be better than Vista, but so far it just a **** load of problems..
My laptop gets hot while i play games on it, as most laptops do. But my laptop graphics card is getting so hot that i am getting green pixels all over my screen. I have a gut feeling the dots are from the graphics card getting hot. I noticed that this usually happens when i have it plugged in (Charging). I have a USB cooling pad on it but it seems like it isnt doin much.
Is it safe to add 8gb more RAM? I have 4 RAM slots, two are occupied by 2x 2gb as mentioned above.I'm thinking about adding two of these: A-Data 4GB (1x4096MB) CL9 1333Mhz
I have an Asus g73jh laptop with 2 hdd's about 2.5 yrs old,would like to replace 1 hdd with an SSD for obvious reasons.I am looking at getting a Samsung 128GB 840 Pro.
In a few days i'm gonna buy an asus eee (900, 901 or 904)
So I wanna know if it's possible to get windows seven on it, and run it normally without freezzing al the time? if you use the aero function off course.
Asus p5n-d mobo e8400 pro geforce 9800gtx+ 1 x ide with xp and 1 x sata with xp
Installed a new second Sata looking to get rid of the ide drive after install
everything disconnected except the new sata and a sata optical
Install hangs doesn't even get started many attempts.
Booted up existing xp on the existing sata drive and inserted windows 7 install disk. This caused the system to completely freeze no mouse movement nothing.
Booted up system with xp on old ide drive and inserted windows 7 install and it worked!
Had the install load windows 7 on the new sata drive.
All is ok but to load windows 7 now i have to boot via the old ide drive.
booting up from the new sata drive fails. so obviously can't get rid of old ide drive now.
So any ideas as to why the above has happened??(am suspecting sata driver issues)
And also is there a workaround to do a clean install direct to my new sata drive?
