WINDOW 7 INSTALL FAIL AND BSOD
« on: July 22, 2013, 04:19:26 pm »
computer that i bought last year.
GA-Z68AP-D3 motherboard, 16gb ram DDR3 , nvidia GTX 560tI graphics card, Intel  i5-2500k 3.5 GHz. 1tb SATA HDD

It was working fine till I got boot msg (my fault). I then reinstalled windows 7 but since then I have been plagued by BSOD. It would get so bad that I would keep having to reinstall windows 7. Now I am currently running windows xp (64 bit pro) occasional BSOD after updates. Every time I try and install windows 7 ,on windows xp during the installation, I get either a BSOD,with a different message each time, or error windows 7 " error code 0x80070570 ". I have tried  check disk, formating the hard drive, uninstalling my graphic's card driver and chipset drivers but windows 7 will still not install. Only once recently I have managed to install it but It then started getting BSOD again.

What steps should I take in order to get a succesful windows 7 installation and avoid the BSOD?

Hi there,

you don't say which revision your motherboard is but have you tried reflashing or updating the BIOS?
Remember, when all else fails a cup of tea and a good swear will often help! It won't solve the problem but it will make you feel better.

Have you tried other memory or try one stick at a time. BSOD can be cause by almost anything. I would start with the memory first.

It can be the DVD-Rom, Video card, Hard drive. Most likely it is the memory.

X299X Aorus Master, i9-9940x-3.30Ghz, 64gb G-Skill DDR4-2400, MSI RTX-3070 8GB, Cooler Master case, Thermal-take PSU 850w, 1-M2-NMVe SSD-512gb, 3-Pny 1TB SSD, 2-WD Raptors 1TB, Win 10 pro 64bit, Asus 35" 144Mhz Monitor.
