OMG the other day my MB The one in my sig went out RAM and all . NOW I have tryed 2 Gigabyte MB NEW !! to have this happen to me .
When installing XP everything is fine till it gets to windows startup then the BSD every time with 2 diffrent gigabyte MB's NO LESS ! what is goin on ? I did find out that the gskill ram is dead but the corsair is fine or so they say . PLEASE ANY ONE I NEED HELP . :confused:
This is the error it gives me .
Stop 0X0000007
PCI.SYS-address F748E08F Base at F748700 , datestamp 3b7d855
GOD'S OF TECHPOWER HELP ME !!! :respect::respect:
The MB I just took back today I replaced with the GA-EP43_UD3L .
 
videocard, pci soundcard, modem, something else plugged into the mobo?
 
Yes the G15 key board USB and the USB mouse . The video card is my GTX260 . Nothing els plugged in .
 
for a problem to span across 2 -3 different boards generally means it's something else.
A BSOD crash at startup can mean a ton of things, but I have had it mean a hardware/driver failure, which would fit.

does it do the same thing trying safe mode?
 
have you tried a different hard drive? spare PSU? and are you overclocking, because my SSD raid array hated when i would OC too much on it so might be getting some problem like that.

No safe mode at all . don't even get any thing in at all to take it to safe mode .
 
hit f8 right before windows starts to load, that should let you try safe mode. if you can load safe mode that will tell us... something :)
 
if you can, find/borrow/buy a new copy of vista, maybe your install DVD has an error

I have been using this disk for 4 years now . NO go on safe mode !
 
no go as in no menu came up, or it bsod, or just didn't work... ?

No any thing can not get into safe mode at all . BSD when windows enters start up still .
 
have you tried googling the error, when i was helping a friend fix her laptop a couple weeks back, after trying a few things she remembered the error she got and after googling it found out that her HDD was dead?

i did. points to component errors or drivers, as i was thinking. PCI.sys is what leads me to believe it's his video card - though it could be an integrated PCI module, but 3 different boards makes that unlikely.

the fact that BSOD before you can load anything points to hardware level and not driver level problems... do you have another system you can test the video card in?

What does that mean? Higher chance of it being messed up by now, is what it means to me...
 
I'd try a different hard drive.

No not at all . could it be some thing in the bios that I can turn off and get it to work . I do not have SP2 on my XP disk just SP1 . GOD this is so frustrating !
 
well you can just reset bios to safe/defaults , if it doesn't work like that it likely has nothing to do with the bios.

clarify if this is the 3rd motherboard or the second please, i'm confused on that part.
if it is the 2nd (1st replacement) , then it could possibly still be the motherboard
if it is the 3rd (2nd replacement) , then the chances are very slim the motherboards have anything to do with it. it is most likely a PCI component issue, which the only one you seem to have is a video card. (no sound card, modem, etc) .... so sorry to say without having any way to test the video card can't go much further on that train of thought.

if it's not the video card, you can try reinstalling AGAIN... but it really points to that having gone crap.

wish it was SP2. that would be a great answer :)

Well that is what I am thinking I just do not know it does it every time now I am at a loss . Guess I can take the card in and have it tested .

GOD nothing is working ! why ? I have had problems in the past but nothing like this ever !!! Is it because the MB is windows 7 ready and if so should I just get it then ?

my view possible psu problem ,have you got a multimeter to test it ?
also if you've got potential memory problems you could try memtest86+ it's quite simple to use ,all the instructions are on that site ,and if you need advice using it just ask someone here;)
