Replacing a working Intel DG43GT Rig. Pulled out working drives into :
Setup fails on the following drives:
Attempted installing from:
Symptoms: Could not get UEFI to install on 2794GB partition. Setup on the HDD starts Windows 7 'file expansion'. Blue screens @ 3% with error 0x0000005C. Steps Taken- Cleaned the drive and changed to GPT DVD UEFI option no longer visible! Blue screen @ 40% with IRQ error Steps taken-Turned off all non-critical BIOS features, removed all unnecesary peripherals. Blue screen at 99% - Master Table error Steps taken- Used Windows 7 RAM test utility, 2 passes = OK Attempted setup with SSD. Loaded UEFI BIOS Defaults Error prompt at 99%. Missing or corrupt lnk file. Setup completed, but freezes on Windows Title (no logo animation) upon 1st reboot. Attempted pre-installing Win7 on the DG43GT rig Turned off intel rig after Win7 setup scucceeds completing file expansion and reboots Installed Win7 partially pre-installed drives in Z97 Asrock Rig Windows 7 boots sucessfully and requests a reset to apply system updates Next boot locks/freezes Steps taken: Dimms reordered, drom A2,B2 to A1,B1 positions. Last Known Good Config boots and allows login Attempted installing Drivers disk contents in listed order: .Net Framework install shows several 'WCN error' popups System locks up again 2 seconds after POST, before even animating the Windows Logo on boot ------------------EDIT:---------------------------- One final re-install attempt with the OCZ SSD. System goes through setup, and when booting to Win 7 for the 1st time, Blue Screens to 0x000000BE HIDCLASS.SYS (Attempt to write to a Read Only address). I'm about to return this board. Asrock, please let me know if there is something I might have missed.

BTW, attempted to use the UEFI BIOS Support Request utility.
"Unable to contact server" error on submit, plus frozen keyboard. I could move the mouse pointer, buit could not click on any buttons. Very disappointed on my 1st Asrock purchase.

While looking for the "processor # feature" , I just noticed an obscure "No Execution-Memory" option hidden away in the Advanced \CPU Config section. Disabled that, and it allowed Win7 setup to finish. Much to my chagrin, installing any drivers afterwards will cause quick BSOD to flash, and baffling enough, either the SSD is no longer detected, or the asrock will freeze on boot!  BTW, I'm using original near 10 yr old Windows 7 install CDs, tested good in other systems, just today. |
