Hi Everybody,
I'm about to go insane and throw components out of the window at pedestrians. Please can somebody enlighten me?
Problems start about 3 weeks ago with random BSOD and crashes. Finally figured it out to be the PSU. RMA'd to Coolermaster and they've sent me a shiny new one back.
Great I thought so I installed the PSU last night and this morning I decided a fresh install was in order to celebrate.
Bad idea.
I have tried to install Windows 7 X64 in various flavours 14 times without success. It always self destructs after the first reboot. I get a your computer has an error contact your administrator. It doesn't specify a dll or source.
I have tried 32bit just to be sure and that also stopped in the same place.
The thing is I have installed on the computer about 10 times previously with no problems. So I know the drivers for the RAID array are fine etc.
The only thing which has changed is the PSU (same model as before, just a different unit)
I have just tried again using my backup PSU which powered the system for 2 weeks and the same error occurs.
I have stripped to the barebones, removing RAM/HDD etc, swapping ram banks etc - no luck! All USB removed... All the usual and no luck.
Hardware
Coolermaster real power m 700w
AMD 555 BE CPU
MSI 890FX MB
8GB Corsair XMS3 1600 ram - now running 1x2gb strip
3xHDD
2 of which are in RAID 0
2x 4890 cards - now only 1
Loads of fans
Nice Cooler Master big boy case
As mentioned has worked fine for 3 months plus in the past
Tried un-raiding and no luck.
Now the kick in the balls is that Vista installed no problem and linux live cd ran sweet too.
Tried 3 difference Windows 7 disks and 1 dodgey homebrew version.
Temps/volts all ok.
Cleared CMOS/ used defaults / now running everthing off (lan/etc)
Not overclocked, ram underclocked
What the fluff?
Please help!!!
