    Try and try and try...


    I've tried about 6 times to install win7 on my system and I gave up.

    SYSTEM:
    Motherboard: ASUS p4s800 dx
    RAM: 4Mb
    Video card: ATI Radeon 9600 with 256 of memory
    2 SATA HD: 500 gb & 1 tb
    PROMISE SATA CARD: Original drivers.
    Sound card: Creative X-FI Music (drivers for Vista because there are no drivers available for Win7 as of now.

    The problem is that no sooner do I have Win7 ultimate installed, it crashes over and over. Last time it happened just as I chose a background for the desktop. So, I changed the desktop and the system was working nicely, until I installed Java.

    I use Opera browser but the crashes are frequent and they happen also when using IE.

    I have mutlthreading in the Bios but disabled it.

    Frankly, I don't know what else to do and have now gone back to my faithful XP which is almost crash proof.

    Any advice? Thanks in advance.

    Well first I think you need more RAM (4mb isn't much) any BIOS updates available? I needed one to fix my laptop.

    Windows won't install on 4MB of Ram and neither will anything else. I think he means 4GB.

    Try Safe Mode.

    You didn't say whether it was 64-bit or 32-bit. When I first installed the beta I installed 32-bit. It ran fine. I upgraded my RAM and installed 64-bit. For a week, I had occasional crashes but then my computer quit booting. I learned that either my processor or motherboard was defective with 64-bit and worked fine with 32-bit. When my motherboard and processor were replaced, under warranty, the problem disappeared.

    Don't disable multithreading! You will lose way too much performance.

    C:\Windows\Minidump

    Use Winrar to compress the files there. Then attach the .rar to a post. You can do this from safe mode + networking if you need to.

    I can look at it and tell you a range of reasons why you might be having this problem or possibly narrow it down to one reason.

    In the bios, if you have a setting for Plug and Play OS, set it to yes.

    Look into "Daniel K." driver for your audio.

    Thanks for getting back so quickly.

    I'm using the 32bit mode.

    Yes, it's 4GB of RAM, although according to the System, only 2.75 are available.

    I'll re-install multithreading and try the Plug and Play setting.

    Then, I'll give it another go and let you folks know. I'll upload the first dmp file to see how I, with your help, can get to the bottom of this because I cannot believe I'm the only one with this problem.

    Many thanks again...

    Please update your system specs - the link is in my profile. Once updated, people won't have to search through the thread to find out what hardware you have.

    Did you download any Windows 7 drivers for your hardware?

    I'm attaching a dmp file. Thank you very much. Let me know what you find out.

    It's a 0x124 error that you could read about here on how to attempt to alleviate them. Most important thing is to read about the overclocking, if you are.
