Win764bit keeps rebooting after install!

[win7user89]

Hi!

I bought a new pc. Specification:

-CPU: Core i5 3570K
-Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77 V-PRO
-RAM: 2x8 GB (1600Mhz)
-HDD 1TB + SSD 120Gb
-OS: Win 7 64-bit Ultimate



My problem is that after I install on the SSD the windows keeps restarting in an infinite loop! If I install on the HDD the same happens!

I install from external USB DVD rom. Of course I switch the boot options back to my SSD/HDD after install so that's not the problem!

...................................
Interesting thing is that once I managed to do it properly seomehow. First i installed on the HDD and did the infinite reboot. After that tried to install on the SSD and it worked! But i wanted to install/format both drives again because Cubase gave me BSOD-s and wanted to have a clean install to be sure its not other stuff etc.


Also when it worked a few days ago once it appeared a green screen (full screen) when i tried to boot and the start menu didnt show up or anything.

So i wanted to format both dirves again, and do a clean install on the SSD. But now both are doing the infinite loop not just the HDD. I dont understand what happens, please HELP! Thank you! :shock:



EDIT: Reboot occours BEFORE windows logo show up. Only thing that shows up is the BIOS options (press F12 or DEL to open bios) after restars again and again.

Hi and welcome to the Forum.
Your system specs are a bit sparce but to start off, did your PC come with Win 7 Ultimate pre installed? What disc are you using to do a clean install? I saw that you used a DVD to install but where did this DVD come from?

 

[win7user89]

- Nope no preinstalled. Empty HDD + Empty SSD.

-Win7 setup disc of course (CD)

-Its a USB external DVD as i said <---It's a DVD DRIVE....not the setup disc is dvd lol

 

[mitchell65]

Point taken but I said "I saw that you used a DVD to install but where did this DVD come from?"

 

[win7user89]

Where did come from? um..It's my father's external dvd drive, its come from him lol. I dont understand why is important.

I believe he is asking about the Win 7 DVD, perhaps he is trying to determine whether it is for a clean install or is it an upgrade installation disc.

 

[mitchell65]

I'm talking about the actual installation disc that contains the Windows 7 Ultimate Operating System!

mitchell65:

From the PC shop than. Its original.

wtf...its for both of course

you can choose when you install win7 if you want to upgrade or clean install...I've chosen "Custom(advanced)" to have a clean install since the SSD was absolutely empty..no previous windows.



EDIT: There's nothing wrong with the installation disc i used it before.

 

[mitchell65]

There really is no need for this - I am guenuinely trying to help you. It is necessary to establish whether we are talking about a purchased disc or a downloaded ISO as the downloaded version can often be corrupted during the download or more regularly when it is burnt to a disc, usually at too fast a burn rate. But then you probably know that anyway.
So when you used this disc before did it perform a good install and was that on this current new machine?

Don't take it seriously man. My 'wtf' was not an insult or something just my surprise.



- I used the win7 install dvd before in my previous computer and it worked great.

-Also this new one, at first I tried to intall win7 on the HDD, did the infinite loop after that. I tried it twice.
Than I tried to install on the SSD and it worked. It booted from it.

-Now i wanted to format/install again the whole system on the SSD (clean install, both drives formatted before installation...) And now it do the infinite loop even in the SSD. I dont understand.


I saw many post on the internet about that thing but didnt see any answer how to fix this.


PS: Its not my first time to install windows believe me. I attend a computer engineering school, we write Java programmes, php, css and many things. I KNOW that its nothing wrong with the installation disc. I think maybe i should change something in the BIOS dont know, never experienced such thing before.

 

[mitchell65]

Is it still working on your old computer?

 

[win7user89]

Yes. Also use it on my laptop. Works perfectly. No problem at booting/installing...

 

[mitchell65]

Assuming then that you have a multi use licence for your Win 7 Ultimate it looks like you infected you PC with that Cubase install. As you probably bought your copy of Cubase from the same shop where your Windows disc came from I suggest you take it back under complaint. If it were my machine I would clean both drives with something like Darik's, boot and Nuke software and try to install to the SSD. If that doesn't work then it might well be that your BIOS is infected. I know how to set the BIOS back to the default settings but I am loath to post the method here as I am not 100% certain that it is the correct thing to do. I don't want to recommend an action that might make matters worse. Perhaps someone else who is watching this thead could come in with an opinion! Meantime are you sure you didn't download the Cubase software as it is notorious for carrying nasties if downloaded from a non authorised site!

 

[win7user89]

Man...you don't understand. It did the same thing BEFORE i could install Cubase. It keeps restarting BEFORE windows logo.

After I do a clean install it does it...I formatted both drives if you remember. No infection...

Could'nt be infected if both drives are empty and totally formatted.

 

[mitchell65]

I understand perfectly, if you bother to read your first post agin you clearly state that you installed to OS on the SSD but had to frormat as the Cubase had infected it! See this:
"After that tried to install on the SSD and it worked! But i wanted to install/format both drives again because Cubase gave me BSOD-s"

Formatting the drive is one thing, using the software I mentioned is totally different. I suggested that the BIOS might be infected and no amount of formatting the hard drive will cure that!
Please read my post properly and re-read your own before jumping to conclusions!

 

[win7user89]

Please read my post properly too!

As I said:

After I get the new PC home there was no Cubase. No infection. Nothing! Empty SSD + Empty HDD. I brought home the PC this way. It was totally clean. After install did the same thing(infinite loop). Cubase Couldn't infected when i first tried it since the windows didnt even boot in to install Cubase. It's not a Cubase related issue!


PS: Cubase's BSODs are a known issue and nothing about viruses of infections....i can post different threads about that ..but its a different topic

Follow these same steps to get a perfect Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7
which also apply to retail.

But first wipe the HD with Diskpart Clean Command to clear the boot sector. There is nothing that can then cause these reboots except for a hardware problem.

If hardware, check all connections, for shorts. If necessary unplug everything except the SSD to see if a component is causing the problem.
