    Tried installing SoLar's 7260 .iso but i get BSOD


    Hi,

    I've been reading the threads, great info here.

    I have a Gigabyte MB with AMD 2+ chip and 3GB of RAM, on board video and no cards installed or any peripherals attached. I have a SATA HD connected and am running XP and tried to do a clean install of the .iso that solar put up yesterday of win7 build 7260 32bit (7260.0.x86fre.win7_rtm.090612-2110.client_en-us.ultimate.SoLoR-custom.iso).

    When I boot from DVD windows loads the setup files, i then see the windows icon appear, then i hear a sound from my PC and get the Blue Screen of Death.

    My error message says:
    "Stop: c000021a {fatal system error}

    The initial session process or system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0x00000000 (0xc000012f 0x001003a8)

    The system has been shut down."

    Not sure if it is a BIOS thing or if I need to install with my sata drivers (i can't now because i don't have a floppy).

    Any advice would be great.

    Thanks

    So there are two possibilities:

    1) The DVD is not burned right and there is a error reading some files

    2) Your computer is not compatible with Windows 7 or has something wrong (memory, bios, ...)

    To eliminate the first possibility a solution is to put the Windows 7 on an USB flash drive and boot from your computer with it. So we will know if it was a bad DVD.
    There is tutorials on this forum or others to explain how to make a USB Flash drive bootable with Windows 7.

    okay, i made a bootable USB key and tried that, i get the same error message from my first post. So it appears it is my hardware. What do you suggest?

    Hi silvervan1986, Why do you have to boot from a dvd in the first place.

    Stop: c000021a {fatal system error}

    the same thing is happening with me. I thought it would be my download problem but I have downloaded it with different source and the same error is coming. In my case I have tried to install from bootable USB drive and error shown was : can't copy the "pshell.dll" file. Not found. and stops installation.

    I have tried it to upgrade my previous win7 b7229 running the setup file from my HDD and same error message came to me.

    i've had the same problem two months ago on my first win 7 install.
    solved it by changing my ****ed up hdd sata cable.
