Installation/Bios problem

[Cadman26]

Hello everyone!
I hope one of you kind people can give me some advise on a rather anoying problem that my PC has at the moment.

Last week i upgraded my PC and decided to go 64bit and install windows 7 RC. I firstly had a problem with the RAM. My PC would boot up and just after the sign on screen would go straight to the BSOD. This only happened when both sticks of Ram (matched) were installed. I managed to solve this by updating my bios. However in hindsight, i probably ballsed it up because now my PC will boot and work fine for anywhere between 10 mins and 3 hours but will always eventually freeze, however now i cannot access my bios or format my hard drive because my monitor does not recieve any signal from my PC until it reaches the sign in screen.
Anyone help!

PC Spec
Intel core 2 Quad processor Q8200
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-P43-ES3G
Corsair matched 2xDDR2 2Gb Ram

Hi and welcome

Besides the obvious shortaage of ram (64 bit miniumun is 2 gigs), if you are just freezing with no blue screens could you go into event viewer (type event viewer in search) and go to the windows log>application tab. there you will find erors (lines with red X's) could you use the built in snipping tool (type snip) to take screenshot of the errors and upload them to us.

If you are having blue screens go to c:\windows\minidump, zip the dump file and upload it to us. If its not in minidump search for *.dmp

this is an easy one AVG is preventing all sorts of things. UNinstall it and see if you work. If you do try either microsoft security essentials, or my pick eset smart security.

If that doesn't fix it let us know

Ok thanks for that Ken.

Do you have any idea how i can access my Bios tho? As i said my Monitor doesn't recieve a signal until the sign on screen.

I have pre-ordered Wndows 7 Premium and i won't be able to install it as it stands?
Sorry for all the questions but as you can tell i'm no expert!!!

I have pre-ordered Wndows 7 Premium and i won't be able to install it as it stands?

Dont worry about questions the only dumb ones are the ones never asked. we love them

Hope this helps

hey, i have kinda the same problem, i have a gigabyte P43-ES3G motherboard, if I boot up with 2x1 GB modules (nomatter the firm) is stable and i can work (i'm doin' a lot of after effects), but is not enough ram, i;'m running windows 7 64bit, if I boot up with 2x2gb modules or all the modules (6GB) i get a blue screen after a couple of minutes, with dump memorry etc.

i've uploaded the dump files, if u guys can figure it out i'll be more then grateful

10x


here is the zip: dump.rar

I would first run memtest 86 for at least 5-6 passes, maybe overnight.

 

[faibox]

did that, also tried with 5 diferent brands of dual channel 2x2gb modules (like kingston, kingmax, corsair etc., if i instal in xp i have no problem, i'm tryin' now win 7 32bit, it could be a problem with my processor? it's a P4 3ghz D930.

hi and welcome

its the memory. plus you have many old drivers that need to be updated

memtestx86 run for at least 5 passes
system file check type cmd in search>right click and run as admin>sfc /scannow

If you fix the problems before hand Microsoft is running a 90 day trial for win 7 so you could install it before and use the legit key when you get it.

Doesn't Enterprise 90 day trial require a special type of volume activation?

I believe it's similar to Ultimate but with volume licensing so Ultimate key won't work?

Can the installer be made all-versions as others can by removing ei.cfg from Sources?

It would be nice if someone knows for sure.
