Lots of problems with new PC build - Asus P8Z77-V Premium - STOP 7E
Stop 7e code
I received an Asus P8Z77-V Premium a week ago and I have been trying to get everything working but I am running into more and more problems and things seem to be going backwards at a fair rate of knots.
I've done two windows 7 x64 ultimate installs over the past week, the first which had SP1 slipstreamed into it and the 2nd just the unmodified install DVD. The first worked until I installed some new software and drivers and then BSOD repeatedly and nothing would get me back into windows. There were no restore points for some strange reason and last known good and safe mode made no difference. I re-installed again today and now I am back to where I started with a non-booting PC. However, this time I do have restore points available but I have already done a restore which did get me back into windows, before it again started BSOD'in. I did uninstall the latest nvidia driver while in safe mode and then BSOD after that until I could not get back into safe mode or windows.
I cannot get into windows to get the dump files and I have no other windows installs ATM to recover them.
There have been some other problems with the keyboard and mouse. While in the Bios, on some occasions, the mouse will not perform a left click but it does move the pointer. The keyboard works okay and can navigate. At some point the mouse starts working fully again.
Another problem has been with the Windows Boot Manager menu which exists from multiple OS's on my previous PC build. Frequently, the keyboard will not respond to key presses to start the boot or move the menu item. I have found that pressing the standby/sleep key on the keyboard makes the keyboard work.
