basic gaming system, asus m3n78-emh hdmi mobo,
trying to install Windows 7 rc1, all other devices removed (pcie, pci, usb)
seems to go ok, re-boots, "starting system first run" and screen goes blank, stays there.
any know issues with this nforce/geforce chipset? Tried 3 different disk burns.
Any suggestions?
I've been looking doing some research about windows 7 and I discovered that your motherboard must support virtual hardware, for it to run XP, so enabling a dual boot, between Windows 7 and Xp. I not sure that my motherboard has the virtual hardware. I'm not seeing it, can someone help me?

View 2 Replies View RelatedUnfortunately this Asus mb does not seem to have inbuilt intelligent CPU fan control- unlike the Gigabyte MA78GM-SH2 which is whisper quiet but now not available.
Asus supply a software Utility on the CD, but the overall Application Installer will not allow installation to what it calls WNT_6.IP_64_MCE - thereby stopping me getting at what they call Cool 'n' quiet.
As I bought 6 of these mb's any thoughts on how to make things quieter would be much appreciated.
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).
Ok, so I just put together a new PC with an ASUS M3N78 Pro motherboard, and I installed Windows 7 onto it. I got pretty much everything working right except the sound. I tryed installing a vista x64 realtek HD audio driver from the ASUS site, and it didnt work. Any ideas?

Clean installing Windows 7 x86 is no problem. But
1) upgrading Vista x86 to Windows 7 x86 fails and automatically rolls back to Vista, and
2) attempt to clean install Windows 7 x64 results in BSOD when rebooting to finalize the process.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Nvidia GEForce 7600GT vs. Asus EN8400GS. Would the installation of the Asus 8400 be an upgrade from the 7600? Would I get better performance? 256mb memory in both.

Should I have installed the nforce series drivers (the driver package that runs the entire motherboard) that are months older because my graphics are integrated or should I stick with the latest 8 series drivers?

I wanted to upgrade to Windows 7, So I tried to install 32 bit windows 7, knowing my computer couldn't handle 64 bit. However, at the end, it simply told me "Installation Failed" and reverted to XP, with all my files. I tried multiple times, then I tried installing 64 bit windows 7, and surprisingly, it worked. However, it is laggy beyond belief, so I tried installing 32 bit again. Again the installation failed. Now I'm thinking of reverting BACK to XP.

I have tried numerous times to install the Windows 7 (32bit) Driver from manufacture site, but when it tries to install the drivers, I get an error message saying "No drivers were found that work with your device. Setup will now close."
I don't get this! I'm on that graphics card right now, in Windows 7, and typing this thread...
Also, in Device Manager, there is no "Display Adapter" listed.... I can't seem to find any evidence of a generic display driver either....
I've already solved the problem of my sound not working (SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio) and this is the last thing I need to get Windows 7 working for a REAL test run!
How can I get these drivers installed?

Windows have installed this for me (drivers themselves are fine, but I want to have control panel):
I have read all the forum discussions, one of which was from myself a few years ago, on a different sony laptop I have had and successfully got it full screen on windows 7, but...

View 2 Replies View Relatedi have a hp pc with vista 64 ultimate. It crashed I believe from malware. The recovery disk suggested this was not the same pc and I'm a crook. I did change hd and a long time ago the MB due to video failure, but I've used recovery since then a couple times. This time I did disconnect the MB battery. HP support was glad to sell me a new one since my $2000 duo core 2 was obsolete. Funny you still can get duo core 2's. With much regret I bought a win 7 os and Wow the pc does work with no real issues. On the outside chance it fails after I activate and I can someway prove this, can win 7 be installed in new pc?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've searched forum threads & online info extensively and tried everything I could think of before posting, but haven't been able to solve this issue. I recently did a new build, including:
MB: ASRock N68-VS3 UCC
CPU: AMD Phenom II 965e black edition
graphics: Radeon HD 4850
RAM: 2x4Gb Crucial (Micron) DDR3 1333Mhz
Power supply: Seasonic SS500-HT (500 watts)
Case: Antec P180B
Drives: Samsung SP1614
Seagate ST3160023AS, both 160Gb
I installed Win7 ultimate x64. Installation was smooth, and everything worked, but was much more sluggish than I expected. Running a diagnostic, I found the CPU was running at 800 Mhz rather than 3400 Mhz.This was the first time I'd done a build, so I'd missed that the ASRock board supports the Phenom II line, but didn't have enough power for this CPU.So I swapped out the motherboard and installed an MSI 760GM-P34(FX).When I did the Win7 install, it proceeded through all steps to part way through the final "completing installation." It does a successful restart, and completes "Setup is updating registry settings" and "Starting services." It then does another restart.The windows splash screen comes up, but instead of starting up it goes to a black screen for a minute or so, then restarts, shows the splash screen, goes to black screen, etc. After trying a number of fixes, I posted on the MSI forum. A moderator there told me that even though the MSI web site says the board supports 125 watt CPUs, he has found that under load it would cause instability issues for a 125 watt CPU.So once again I swapped out the board and now have an Asus M5a97 R2.0, which supplies 140 watts, which should be enough for my 125 watt CPU.When I did the install, exactly the same sequence followed, the black screen at the same point in the install.Here's the kicker: in order to get more information, I tried an install with an old XP disk I had around. It installed with no issues, and has been running a variety of tasks including gaming for a week now.Everything looks good in the bios: 4 cores running, 3400Mhz, temps low, voltages from power supply look ok, memory & drives are present.
Here's what I've done:
--run Windows disk repair utility from install disk. It says Windows has booted properly.
--boot into Safe mode. It says installation is not complete, and I have to restart normally.
--remove second hard drive.
--remove second stick of ram, try booting on each individually.
--run Memtest 86 v.3.5b: 2 passes on each stick of ram individually, then with both installed. It found no errors.
--run Windows memory diagnostic, which also found no errors.
--change sata mode from AHCI to IDE
--installed XP on each hard drive without issues.
--download a fresh copy of Windows 7 x64 from Digital River, burn & install. Exact same problem.
--turn off everything in bios, including all usb, power management, lan controller, etc.
--flash bios with most recent update
--clear cmos

I have attempted many of the "best practice" fixes for these cases - disabling services, antivirus, startup entries, etc., but this has not resolved the issue, either.

Windows 7 came loaded with the laptop, though I do not know if I have windows 7 basic, premium, pro or else.I went on vacations in July, came back in August and I had a bunch of updates. I updated everything at once but I have 8 update files that fail to install from which only 1 error fail to update occur in the update history; therefore I assume this particular error prevents other updates to install correctly.
Update for Windows 7 for x64 based systems (KB2732500)
installation date: 8/29/2012
You may need to restart your computer for this update to take effect.
Installation status: Failed
Error details: code 80071A90
Update type: Recommended
The knowledge base has several links, I tried all of them. 1 of these knowledge base is about downloading a windows 7 little program called "fixit" but after several attempts, I concluded Fixit cannot solve my issue or is not the proper way to solve my issue.The whole updating package files is roughly around 39 megs and I wonder if Windows 7 actually download the packages every time I click on Update or if Windows stores the updates ready to be installed somewhere on my HDD in which case I would need to re-download the update but I do not know how?
I am installing Windows on my new SSD. I made the disk GPT (instead of MBR), and installed Windows (tried 5 times now) with similar results. Either error 0xc0000225 or boot loop of "Windows is loading files" ... or it throws me back to my BIOS Boot selection screen where I came from ... what might be the problem? Windows 7 still cant handle GPT partitions? Or it doesnt like the new SSD? I managed to install and reboot successfully once by removing all other drives (except the SSD which I am installing into), works, I can enter Windows. Then once I installed back the other HDDs, it fails again ...
