Blue screen installing Windows 7 from usb

[uas66]

Hi,

I am trying to install Windows 7 on a HP laptop, but it will not work. After the setup loaded the files I get the blue screen. I put a new ram in the laptop and the harddrive worked on a other laptop. Also when I try to install the laptop with a dvd I still get the blue screen.

Thanks in advance

Did you replace the ram before or after you got the blue screen?

Try tapping the ESC key at boot, choose Diagnostics to test the hardware.

If not test the hardware from Troubleshooting Steps for Windows 7.

If hardware checks out then Troubleshoot Windows 7 Installation Failures - Windows 7 Help Forums

I did the harddisk test and it passed. The ram I placed I bought new.

The blue screen comes after the bar is full from: Loading windows files.

Thanks in advance

Then Troubleshoot Windows 7 Installation Failures - Windows 7 Help Forums
which resolves all problems.

Have you determined yet if you have EFI BIOS? It tells what to do if so.

 

[uas66]

Thank you for your help. But how can I see what type of bios I have if I can not boot windows?

 

[gregrocker]

The BIOS is not in Windows.

Tap the key given on first screen for BIOS setup to browse all tabs for UEFI, EFI, CSM, Legacy BIOS.
Report back settings choices for any of these. The navigation tools and explanatory text should be to the right on each.

What I see is:
InsydeH20

Bios version: F. 17
Bios vendor: Insyde

If you can't see a prompt for which key to press along edge of screen then post back your PC or mobo make and model.

You can also google it yourself for specs to see if it says its UEFI.

 

[uas66]

Also with a UEFI boot USB I still get the blue screen...

 

[gregrocker]

But do you have a UEFI BIOS? Would you please answer each question asked?

If you cannot look in BIOS setup to see, then we need your mobo or PC make/model to find the specs to see.

 

[uas66]

I am sorry, I did not get that. It is a Pavilion G6.

 

[gregrocker]

That is not the full model number. Thoroughness is absolutely paramount in these operations. You will need to pay attention to every detail and not skip around or you should take it to a shop.

You didn't mention that this is a Windows 8 PC. Are you trying to install Windows 7 on a Windows 8 PC? If so this is the most important thing that you could have mentioned but did not.

If so you must disable Secure Boot as shown in this video for your product line:



Once you've done that reboot into BIOS Boot menu using ESC key again and then F9, select the Win7 DVD as a UEFI DVD device only. If you are using a flash stick installer then it must be formatted using only Option One of UEFI Bootable USB Flash Drive - Create in Windows and booted as a UEFI flash stick.

Then if it loads and proceeds you must delete all partitions at the drive selection screen during a booted Custom install. UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) - Install Windows 7 with - Windows 7 Forums
Downgrade Windows 8 to Windows 7

Here is a picture of a label on my mboard and my boot option in the bios
************** / gallery - image, image[1]

 

[gregrocker]

I only requested the full HP model number which is on the sticker on side, back or bottom of PC if you will study it.

Did you disable Secure Boot? Why did you send a screenshot of the Boot page then, without expanding the Boot order for us to see?

When you put the DVD in the drive do you see a choice for UEFI DVD when you access the BIOS Boot menu via ESC and then F9?

 

[uas66]

I do not see UEFI when looking at the boot options. I made a UEFI usb drive and it did not boot. It only boots with a normal version. I used rufus. On the blue screen i get: IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL

 

[gregrocker]

You would not make a UEFI installation flash stick if you don't have UEFI BIOS.

Please follow the steps in Clean Reinstall Windows 7. Step one tells how to confirm the ISO if in doubt and write a non-UEFI flash stick.

If there's an error please report back the exact step and text of the error.
