Crashing during install, video related I think
Well I am officially frustrated. My install of Windows 7 goes smoothly until the very last step. I get a quick flash of BSOD (not long enough to see the issue) and then the computer reboots. When it reboots, it tried to resume the install when the screen flashes and I get a message explaining that the installation cannot continue.
I do a shift F10 and type compmgmt and go to device manager. Lots of things come up with exclamation marks including the VGA controller. I have the driver disk for my new motherboard, and am able to get to the drivers, it finds them, but fails to install them every time. So I am back to the reboot only to fail.
This is a new build, my first one.
I have as follows.
Biostar A880g+ w/ ATI Radeon HD 4250 integrated graphics.
2 gigs ram (tested fine with memtest)
AMD Athlon II X2 255 3.1ghz regor
Seagate 500gb SATA hard drive
Any Ideas on this? I am on the verge of trying another motherboard and returning this one.
Crazy thing is, I was going to run Ubuntu on this machine, but it too failed at the last step, when I could get it that far!
Thanks for your time
