Windows 7 Installation problem

[kakashi9401]

I recently bought a new intel board DG41RQ Essential series and when i try to install windows 7 on it after the final step of its installation when it reboots the cursor keeps blinking and the windows doesn't even starts and the same happens to windows vista but windows XP
works fine on it.Does it have anything to do with the BIOS?

I could have to do with a lot of different hardware that is connected during installation.
What video card, monitor, a second monitor ?

nvidia geforce 9400 GT 512 MB.
i am using view sonic monitor and don't have a second monitor.
i have two sticks of kingston ram 512 MB each.
I bought a new board because my old board was dead on which i was having windows 7 installed alongside xp and were working perfectly but since i bought a new board win 7 and vista don't work only xp does.

Try removing your nvidia geforce 9400 GT 512 MB & USE the onboard video.

Reinstall nvidia geforce 9400 GT 512 MB when Windows 7 is working OK.

Take a look at these posts also:

I believe theog is suggesting to use the onboard video. Good idea.

Make sure you have the latest BIOS version update.

What is the SATA controller setting? Try AHCI, then IDE if necessary.

Try also wiping the HD to give cleanest possible slate: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/91339-ssd-hdd-optimize-windows-reinstallation.html

Thanks for the help now win 7 is working what i did was after the final step of installation i went to the win 7 setup and from there i choose repair your system,opened command prompt and restored MBR by reading one of the posts from theog's reply.I want to know one thing that do i have to restore MBR every time after installing windows 7 to make it work ?

Sounds like you were using a dirty HD.Always clean your HD first.

OR
in diskpart

Type in command line
If you have no partitions on your HD.
DISKPART
LIST DISK
SELECT DISK # (win HD)
CLEAN ALL
CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
SELECT PARTITION 1
ACTIVE
FORMAT fs=NTFS
ASSIGN
EXIT
EXIT

If you have partitions on your HD.
DISKPART
List Volume
SELECT VOLUME # (win VOLUME)
DELETE VOLUME
CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
ACTIVE
FORMAT fs=NTFS
ASSIGN
EXIT
EXIT

Where did you get Win7? Did you burn the DVD yourself? Verify the DVD against ISO using ImgBurn, making sure it says "bootable" in text at left when you load ISO. Burn new DVD if neccessary with ImgBurn at 4x speed.

Are you wiping the HD before installing? This can often help. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/91339-ssd-hdd-optimize-windows-reinstallation.html

Make sure you have the latest BIOS version update, clear the CMOS, then set the SATA controller in BIOS setup to AHCI to start, then IDE if necessary. Clear CMOS - 3 Ways to Clear the CMOS - Reset BIOS


Remove all but 2gb of RAM, swap RAM, test RAM using memtest86 for 5-6 passes.

Test your HD using maker's full CD diag/repair scan: Hard Drive Diagnostics Tools and Utilities (Storage) - TACKtech Corp.

If these steps don't help, then post a new thread with exact description of problem, giving your computer Specs in bottom left corner of new post.
