Build Problem (Crashs on boot)

Loxa · 19 Dec 2012 at 20:00

Hey guys, just got my pc parts today and installed them into my computer but when i press the power button it starts up shows he motherboard name etc gets to "Starting Windows" bluescreens really fast and then trys to restart. And it repeats the process, i tryed booting in safe mode but still nothing.

Maybe i have something plugged in wrong i dont no

It sounds to me like a Faulty Windows Install. Don't quote me on that though

Its the same windows on the HDD as i always used, i replaced the motherboard cpu and ram. Ram and CPU came installed already as it was a bundle

I was always led to believe that new mobo required a fresh install. Unless I misunderstood your previous post and you have already perfomed a fresh install

Have you checked the cable connections from the graphics card to the monitor?

Yeah, it worked the first two times i tryed to boot but now it just doesnt show anything

i just tryed the onboard DVI port and it worked so my cable at the bk must have slipped unplugged i hope

Ok i did a fresh install of windows and it worked great, now my wireless card doesnt work.. But it is 7 years+ old so could this be that the motherboard can use it?

It should still work probably just need to find the drivers again

but surely without drivers i can still be plugged into it by DVI and get a signal on the screen. Because at the moment i cannot

i dont understand the first 2 boots when i had the problem where windows would not boot it showed the bios etc.. Now no picture just idle mode

Loxa · 20 Dec 2012 at 00:10

or does my graphics card maybe not work in the top slot? Is there something different between them i dont know about. Or is it because i havent installed drivers from the CD because i dont have a CD Drive

I think the wireless card just does not sit right in the slot, it was 2 slits & socket has 1.. Ill try and get a cable to try it tomorrow. Still not sure why the GPU doesnt work

(belkin wireless g plus F5D7001 ver.2001uk <-- wireless card)

Can you post a pic of the case side open showing the bits all installed?

The screen probably doesn't come on for a few reasons, power connector to GFX not connected, BIOS settings incorrect (could reset them to defaults via reset CMOS switch/jumper on mobo).

You should have drivers installed for the GFX card, CD not needed, just go to the maker's site (ATI or nVidia) and download the latest driver package.

Ok ill do a picture in a second, i have a OC'ed bundle so if i reset the cmos ill lose the OC (only got it yesterday). I downloaded the ATI drivers but it would only let me install the install manager no driver

Was it bought from OcUK?

I'd expect they did stability test it but it's not uncommon for OCs to be unstable out the box. You can save BIOS settings into a profile within the BIOS so if you do revert to optimal defaults then you can restore the saved current settings anyway.

You can also save the BIOS config to a USB stick from inside the menus.

Yes it was the Sepctre Ruby Z77 bundle, ohhhhh ok. I have no idea how to do this

There will be a backup BIOS settings to USB in there, I don't know the layout to ASRock mobos BIOS screen but someone else reading this thread has!?

Ok ill have a look around, also in bios it said im at 3.50 ghz when i should be 4.40ghz

Hmmm, methinks someone at the test bench didn't set something up right!
