Install Graphics Drivers It Fails On Re-boot
Nov 27, 2009
I have just bought 7 Profession 64-bit and upgrade from my Vista Home Prem install. Everytime i install graphics drivers it fails on re-boot.
As far as i can see the drivers install fine (newest ones on nvidia site 195.55 and 186.whatever) then i restart, it loads the "starting windows" page, goes through that fine, but when it tries to go on it just crashes forcing me to use system restore to remove the nvidia drivers so i can run it again.

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.

I have downloaded windows 7 home premium upgrade ISO from the microsoft store. The burned the iso to disk using the image burner in windows.
My problem is that the disk will boot, and a "windows is loading" screen appears which only takes a minute. Then a windows background appears on screen with a cursor. That is all. No setup at all. What might be wrong here. I would like to make a bootable disk that works.
I can run setup from an OS, but that is not what I want to be able to do.

Ok so after years of running XP, I finally got an external HDD to back all my crap on and Windows 7 Ultimate. I backed up all my stuff, ran the win7 DVD through start up, reformated my hard drive, installed windows 7.
It installed fine, rebooted a couple of times through the install, finishes, and logs me to the desktop. Its all working fine, I can use the net etc. I shut it down to restart it, and it doesn't start back up. It gets to the bios window where it decides to start off the dvd or hdd, just prior to where it should normally change to the 'windows is loading' screen, and just sits there, blinking and doing nothing.
I've done three installs, I took out the hard drive, reformated it with another computer, made sure it had a ntfs file system, everything, it's working fine. But every single time I install windows 7, It logs me into the desktop for the first time, I can do everything fine, but then if I Shutdown or restart, it hangs on the screen prior to windows loading. I can't even choose a boot option.
I've seen some ideas on other forums, pulling the power out, resetting the bios/cmos, changing boot sequence, unplugging all non-essential hardware.. nothing. It's like as soon as I install windows 7 my hard drive isn't there anymore.
Specs:
Abit AX78 - Latest BIOS version
AMD 9950 quad core 2.6
4GB DDR2-800
ATi HD 5870
Western Digital 500GB

It's my daughter's computer. A little e-Machine, 250G HD, Windows 7 32-bit on it. Out of nowhere her computer wouldn't boot up. I can get it to try to boot using the Windows disk, it gets so far, and then the repair fails saying:
The file or directory C:/Boot is corrupt and unreadable. Please run chkdsk utility.
I try to re-install. she had backed up everything on my external just days before. It gets near the end, and then the same error comes up. I cannot get into anything else. Nothing else will load. I don't even know how I can run chkdsk. Unfortunately the computer is about three years old and she can't remember the specifics except there is only one HD in it. She had no internet at her place so it's not because she suddenly installed something. She was using it to watch movies and listen to music mostly. I'm at wits' end, can't figure it out.

Im using a Amd 6950 2gb. Anyways so i noticed after reinstalling windows that it would hang after the first set of program and driver installs (Anti virus, ccleaner, google chrome, etc etc.) And so I started to figure out where the problem was. Found out that windows will start when I uninstall the graphics drivers. Ive tried hotfixes old drivers.

I recently rebuilt my pc with a gigabyte ga h77m d3h and core i3 2120 with 512m dedicated to on board graphics. The computer will start fine after you do the fresh install of windows 7 prof. 64 bit with the default video driver from windows. I've updated my bios using gigabyte's @bios tool and I've tried installing th drivers from the disc, from intel's website and with automatic update in device manager. Could a corrupt windows install file cause this issue? I downloaded the ISO from the Microsoft website when I bought the product key.

A couple days ago, I installed Windows 7 (through MSDNAA).
I have a problem with some devices. The situation can be seen here:
I tried updating driver software through windows and it said it was unable to find drivers
I have no idea what the "Unknown Device" may be. The "Multimedia Video controller" I'm guessing is my Nvidia graphics card? The Mass Storage Device I think is my Magicgate memory card slot, but I'm not sure.
I have an Nvidia 8400M GT graphics card and judging by what I've seen on the resolution window (and device manager), I'm currently running on my standard VGA graphics device, and not my Nvidia.
I manually searched for the drivers for my graphics card off the Nvidia site, but every time I try to install it, I get this messege
]I've already tried reformatting and reinstalling windows 7, now I'm running out of ideas. Can anybody please help?
I'm using a Sony Vaio TP3 computer. It's a "desktop" with laptop components and was initially running on Vista.

I've completed a new custom build, but have had problems with BSOD from the beginning with any installation of Intel Graphics drivers or the installation of any graphics card.
When I first completed the build, the XFX-7950 Black was installed. I booted to BIOS without issue, but when I inserted the Windows 7 (64 bit) it would boot through the windows logo screen but immediately BSOD right after going to the first install screen.
I removed the graphics card, and was able to complete the full Windows install without issue. I updated Windows and the drivers on the system but as soon as I installed the Intel 3000 Graphics driver, it would BSOD on every restart. I recovered back prior to the Graphics driver install and installed all other drivers. I updated the BIOS to the latest version.
I have reattempted the XFX 7950 multiple times in different slots, but with the same results. I also attempted my Radeon HD 4550 from my old computer but it gave the same results. It always boots through the Windows logo screen, but BSOD within a few seconds of reaching the password screen.
I broke down and installed Driver Whiz, which did detect multiple outdated drivers that I had not caught, but none of these fix the issues.
I've attached the requested zip. I don't think all BSOD's are showing up, as I've had to use recovery points after installed drivers didn't work. The last .dmp on 19 JUL was a Intel Graphics driver install attempt that I pulled off in safe mode before recovering back to the pre-driver point.
System:
ASUS P8Z68-V Pro/GEN 3
Intel 2600K
XFX R7950 Black Edition
OCZ 850W
Crucial 128 GB SSD
Seagate Barracuda 1 TB HD
Corsair H100
Windows 7 64 bit (full)

I just recently got a new SSD and wanted to start fresh with a new Windows 7 install. Thus I dc'd everything and successfully installed windwos 7 professional. However, after I update my graphics card driver (Radeon HD 5xxx series). I get a screen without icons, start menu or anything except the background. Pressing CTR-ALT-DEL gives me a blackscreen, forcing me to reinstall windows again. I tried different version of Catalyst control center (10.4 and the latest one) and they both give the same error.

I Installed Acronis Disk Director Suite 10.1 yesterday on my Windows 7 and got this problem when it boots up I get the option to choose OS. Windows failed to start. A Recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1. Insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer.
2. Choose your langugae settings, and then click next
3. Click "repair your computer."
Status: 0xc000000e
Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible.
Then I tried to run the Windows 7 installation disk, I go to the cmd prompt and run the
DISKPART
diskpart
list disk
select Disk X (X=disk where I installed all the OS, should be Disk 0)
list partition
select Partition X (X=partition containing OSX)
Virtual Disk Service error:
The pack is not online
and then i run the Bootrec /ScanOS, it came with 0 identified Windows Installations, this is why I come into the cmd prompt as I could not select the installed OS.
I've tried that from bootable cd to repair the install but the partition of windows7 is not recognized still.

After I tried to make a dual boot with Ubuntu and Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit), Windows now does not boot. I have tried to reinstall and repair the HDD but the disc fails to recognize my HDD (Western Digital Scorpio Black 500 GB). My HDD is Basic, has 3 primary partitions and 1 extended (3 logical). Ubuntu 11.10 can boot fine.

I have an OLD computer with a 2.4 GHz processor and 1 GB ram, running XP 32 bit. 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 an intermittent problem with my Windows 7 programme installed on my laptop.
Very occasionally when I boot it will fail to launch stating that certain files cannot be found. I didn't record exact message but it is a system 32 file error.
I am able to reboot as the start launch is there, although it resembles the old 98 start launch, and it starts up again without issue.
I know it is vague but has anyone else experienced this? It affects me say 1 out of every 25 boots.

I recently acquired a used computer and put the hard drive from my old one into the new one and it would freeze and at the Windows boot logo and then BSOD. The previous owner suggested that I get a new hard drive as the motherboard is having issues reading an already formatted hard drive. I decided to recover the bootloader by following these steps: [code] You will need to replace C:\ in the example below with the letter for your boot drive! It's most likely C:, but it could be something else!attrib -h -s C:\boot\BCD..Now it takes me to the Windows Boot Manager and says that winload.exe (0xc0000428) Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file.

its a acer corei5 home premium 64bit,, recently i was deleting some files from my documents.. i dont know if i have included to delete some the default program files to run the windows normally, then one morning when i turned on my laptop,, boot manager windows with blue stripe above and gray body with 3 options that i dont even know what it means.. when i try to open one of the options i hear a very sharp sound that goes on with the beat of the hard disk,, start-up manager comes out,, but after repairing.. boot manager window still shows everytime i turn-on my laptop.. i do further research on the internet and try system recovery tools on my disk,, i tried one-by-one including commands such as: bootrec.exe /FixMbr; bootrec.exe /FixBoot and so-on but everytime i turned it on, the same problems exist.. i also have tried sfc /scannow.. problems still exist.. it seems the only problem of my laptop is the START-UP,, because honestly theres an option of 'start windows normally" and my pc works fine after that.. but again when i turn it off and turn it on again.. the same problem display.. i also tried restore options for so many times.. tried all those tools for so many times.. but still my start-up problems still exist.. it seems my laptop is loop into different events that i;m doing with it

Ok so about 6 months ago my dad bought an HP p6674y Desktop. Two days ago it failed to boot to windows 7 home premium. I ran the diagnostics that came with the HP's motherboard. It checked everything (CPU, RAM, S.M.A.R.T. status, Hard drive's connection to the motherboard) and everything checked out fine. But after the motherboards boot screen the screen goes black. Nothing, besides a little underscore (_) blinking in the top left of the screen. I really hate windows because there is no way to find out what failed like there is in linux. Does anybody have any ideas? I just ran a Norton scan and all we have is 18 tracking cookies that where deleted. Unless you have a bulletproof plan I really dont want to reboot the desktop. I got it up and running after leaving it without power all night long.

Recently i panned to build my system and put together the following config, all items were brand new....
1. MSI b75 motherboard (one SATA 6GB/s, Three SATA 3GB/s)
2. Intel i3-3220
3. Kingston SSD NowV100 64GB (SATA 6GB/s)
4. Corsain RAM 4GB 1600MHz, single module
5. DVD drive.
6. Cooler Master 550W
Now, during assembling i installed my new SSD on SATA 6GB/s port, DVD drive on SATA 3GB/s port and RAM, processor etc.Then i proceeded with standard Win7 installation through DVD and completed it successfully, installed all the drivers etc, and now my system was up and running.After few days of successful running, i am frequently encountering errors regarding boot failure and when i go to BIOS it does not show/detect my SSD drive and shows only DVD drive.So, i figured out that, as my SSD is not detected, boot process is unable to load windows.But strangely, when i ran my standard check procedures (i.e. i removed my PC off power supply, removed CMOS battery and reconnected all then boot again) then my system booted successfully.Now, the problem is that, my system runs for 4-5 days continuously and then suddenly the same boot failure error occurs my SSD does not show up in BIOS and then i again have to go through the whole process of removing power and clearing CMOS by removing battery and then reboot.
Note: I have checked my SSD firmware... it is up to date.my BIOS is also up to date.

Over the last few days, I've suddenly started having a problem where I get a Werfault.exe window popping up and my PC will just grind to a complete halt, and the majority of programs won't open after and this error window will just keep appearing.If I try to restart my PC after this error has appeared but it gets stuck at the POST screen for a several seconds then restarts, and just keeps going. Pressing any of the keys to get into BIOS etc don't do anything, but after a while of pressing the reset / power button and leaving some time it will eventually boot.
PC Specs:
Windows 7 64-bit
i5 750 2.67Ghz

I recently built the computer that I am on and installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit Everything's been working great and no updates have had issues installing until SP1 came out today. It fails every time with error code 80004005, unknown error. I am fairly certain that it is due to the Windows Mail hack. Unfortunately, I've already tried running the System Update Readiness Tool as well. As for trying the service pack install again, I have tried it multiple times, both through Windows Update and the full installation package downloaded from microsoft.com.

excess ie9 crashes prompted me to attempt a fix, i uninstalled ie9, updated the ie8 that was left after a restart, had the ie9 downloaded, after updating ie8 fully, tried to reinstall ie9, but installation aborted with Troubleshoot problems when you cannot install Internet Explorer 9 as my only recourse. i tried the fixit wizard, which just deleted adobe flash, but gave the same error message, and on rerunning it, said there were no errors to fix, so now i'm using firefox, ie8?

Running Vista Home Premium X64 and trying to install Windows 7 Home Premium X64. The install fails the installer's compatibility test with the message "The following issues are preventing Windows from upgrading.Cancel the upgrade, complete each task, and then restart the upgrade to continue. For these items, make the following changes:Uninstall these programs. Open Control Panel and search for "uninstall a program". Trend Micro Internet Security 2008 ".However, Trend Micro Internet Security was uninstalled from this computer at least a year ago and I can find no evidence of any shreds of it being present - not in the programs list, not in the file system and not in the registry.

I did a full back up using Acronus and ever since I have had problems. I tried reinstalling win 7, but this is what I get:"The computer restarted inexpectedly or encountered an expected error. Windows installtion cannot proceed. Click "OK" to restart the computer, and then restart the installation"I have done this repeatedly. I must add that I had a local TigerDirect store run full diagnostics and they say all my hardware is fine?

i 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?

I'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've had some issues installing sp1 (7 ultimate, latest windows updates) via windows update when the installation fails on a few different error codes, but i have gotten it to install a few times. each time the installation finishes, i restart the computer when prompted and it goes through the update process when shutting down, then after the windows 7 splash screen ("starting windows") passes, the screen goes blank (black screen, no video- monitor displays "going to sleep" message) and the HDD light on the computer is lit solid. i've left the computer sitting for hours with no change- i eventually get Windows to boot again by using the install disc to do a Windows restore, but i haven't been able to get past this yet.

I just received a computer I bought about a week ago, yesterday. Last night, while it was on and downloading files, the power board it was plugged into shut off. Now, it's stuck in an endless loop of failing to boot. It keeps asking me to insert the Windows 7 installation disc and restart. I put the disc in but it stays stuck in the loop and I am unable to do anything. I've managed to get it to go to the system repair setup, but it continued to try to repair the problems for over 6 hours and nothing has happened.

This issue has just start a couple of days ago were the computer would restart at the point of the boot logo just before the orbs came in, i have tried booting in all safe modes and the computer would restart, tried repair and it restarts before finished loading. I have tried using the os install disk but it also restarts. There is no BSOD. Is there a way to fix this or would i have to replace my motherboard?
