BSOD during "starting windows" after fresh install

[react]

Hello forums people,

OS: Windows 7 professional
motherboard: Asus M4A78LT-M LE
CPU: AMD Athlon II x4

I've been wrestling with this all day.
Yesterday I re-installed Windows 7 professional 64 bit to get rid of 5 years of clutter. I was unable to install the OS with both 2GB sticks of RAM and my geForce 460 video card in.

I took out one RAM stick and the video card and installed the OS. Today, I am unable to start windows with the second RAM stick or the video card in.

To check the RAM sticks, I have put each RAM stick individually into each of the two RAM slots on the motherboard without a problem, I only have the problem when both sticks are in.

The BSOD occurs in the exact same way as when I boot with the video card installed. I get to the "starting windows" screen, the little colored balls animate for a moment and then freeze. Then I go to the bsod where I am told acpi.sys is responsible. The way that two pieces of hardware individually cause the same crash makes me think that it is not a problem with the video card or the motherboard physically either.

I have updated my BIOS today to the latest version. I have run the windows 7 startup repair from my intall CD, it failed at the "System Files Integrity Check and Repair" test with error code 0x490

I am unable to boot in safe mode with 2 RAM sticks or the video card.

I'm looking up cmd windows memory tests I can do, as well as updating the chipset now. I would appreciate any direction,

Severin

EDIT: I may have installed the "debug/checked" version of windows 7 professional. I have been reading that this throws errors instead of tolerating faults like a friendly OS should.

Hello there!

It does sound like Hardware but the best way to test the RAM is using the program called MemTest86+ follow this article Run Hardware Diagnostic : Hardware Diagnostic | Captain Debugger (RAM and GPU)

This driver Bs_def.sys i.e. BIOS Flash Driver is a driver file from company AsusTek Computer Inc. maybe it's good idea to re-flash the BIOS.

Hi Welcome to Seven Forums.
To help us help you would you please add your systems specs? Here's how: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/180324-system-info-see-your-system-specs.html#post1530002
Under System Manufacturer/Model Number add whether it is a desktop or laptop and whether self built.

Log in to Seven Forums and you will be able to transfer the info directly to the specs page in your profile from within the System Info app.
After doing this your specs will be available in each of your posts. Click on My system Specs in the lower left of this post to see how it should look.
Full instructions are in the tutorial.
