Hello, this is my first post. This is a bit long-winded :shock:
Note: I have never successfully installed w7 with the video card plugged in. Before the partition screen in setup, it freezes, or pops up with a missing resources error. I pull the card, and install windows with my onboard graphics without a hitch. I then plug the card back in and install the drivers. This routine worked, up until now.
I did a fresh w7 install yesterday with the above method, and ran into a few problems. Prior to reinstalling the video card, I forgot to plug in the pci-E power to the back of the card. The system ran for 10-20 seconds (no video on screen) before I realized my error.
I plugged the power plug in, and booted to a black screen with the cursor present. After another reboot, I logged in and installed my graphics driver. Everything seemed ok.
This morning I recieved two BSODS (one happened while the computer was sleeping). After viewing the error, my computer had another BSOD. It briefly said "PEN-LIST-CORRUPT" before shutting down.
When I rebooted, the taskbar had no aero effects, and within moments explorer crashed. I rebooted, same deal.. explorer crashes, event log full of errors.
I pulled the card out of the machine 4 hours ago, and booted with my onboard graphics. No errors have been detected and everything seems stable for the most part.
Before I rule out the card being faulty.. I'm going to attach some minidump files.
(maybe they'll reveal something driver/software related?)
The ATI graphics driver I installed was the correct, and up to date version.
Windows memory diagnostics passed with zero errors.
I'll update with any new errors/BSODS.
