Idiot installing Windows 7 Ultimate BSOD/nvidia drivers
Hi,
I hope someone can help me, I'm not overly techy so I've give you as much info as I can. Trying to do a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate on brand new pc with this spec:
Intel® Core 2 Quad Q8300
Motherboard: Asus P5P43TD (Intel P43 chipset, 4x DDR3, PCI-E 2.0)
Memory: 4GB DDR3 1333mhz (2x 2GB)
Hard Drives: 500GB S-ATAII 3.0Gb/s
Optical Drive: 22x DVD±RW DL S-ATA
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 9500GT 1GB
Sound card: Onboard 7.1 Audio
PSU: 400W
Monitor: Viewsonic VX2260wm lcd display
Initially I got quite a way through the installation then it came up with an error saying the computer closed unexpectedly and had to restart to continue installation. I had got my monitor connected to the nvidia gt 9500 via divX. Said Ok, pc shut down, then restarted with exactly the same message. Read up on the Net and said that it could be the nvidia card, so got to device manager and removed drivers so it had to use standard vga drivers and switched to the vga connection on the graphics card (I dont' have onboard graphics on my motherboard).
Well, now it doesn't have the old problem it has a new one. I am booting straight from the dvd drive and it lets me get to the Windows install page, I select custom install and it gets to anything between 2 and 72% of expanding the files (second stage on list) and then it blue screens with various errors. the last one being this:
STOP: 0x0000008E (0xc0000005, 0x81851844, 0x86914B04, 0x00000000)
fltmgr.sys address 81851844 base at 81848000. Datestamp: 4a5bbf11
Have tried ringing the tech support from where I got the pc but they say they don't support windows 7 yet. CD that has come with the pc for the motherboard says that it is windows 7 ready (but that probably doesn't mean anything).
Any help would be very much appreciated as it is driving me insane. Like I said I'm not a techy so treat me gently please!
Thanks very much.
