Windows 7 Pro 64-bit installation fails

DirectorC · Dec 5, 2009

Wow I'm surprised nobody mentioned bad RAM yet. It didn't quite click with me at first either.

Well, it seems to be working fine now. I can't believe what the problem was.
It seems that Windows 7 64-bit doesn't like connections to monitors via VGA... this is true, at least in my experience. Whether I'm connecting though the on-board video card, or PCIe video card, the VGA port doesn't work. When I was using the Intel MB that only had a DVI port, the cable from the monitor was still VGA with an adapter to connect to the DVI port. I've now updated the bios, installed all of the MB / chipset drivers, and VGA connections still don't work. That's fine - I'll just use DVI. Anyone know why this is? Why isn't this more of a problem for others? Is no one else using VGA anymore?

Thanks again for all of your help!

As I said, probably an issue with your monitor. Win7 seems to be more sensitive about detecting monitors.

HDCP ? i notice that comes up under my nvid display property's wonder if that could have anything to do with it with the onboard hdmi ?
