pc build - startup repair issues

ancyllaqc · 14 Apr 2013 at 14:58

Hello,

Just fitted the following parts together and when I load into windows it cuts out on starting windows and restarts, the same occurs with safe mode

Hd7870
550w PSU (antec vp550p)
i5 3750k
Gigabyte z77-ds3h
Corsair vengeance (1x4gb)

Windows 7 was already installed on the hard drive because I have taken it straight out of my old PC
The BIOS gets past post
The BIOS detects the ram and CPU
Graphical output from the graphics card is working
Done a memory hardware test in system restore - no detected errors
Safe mode suffers the same problem as booting the normal windows 7 boot
System restore to then earliest point did not work
I have no system image recovery
Automatic repair says searching for problems - checking for disk errors this may take over an hour to complete. The startup repair cannot repair this computer automatically
Problem event name: startup repair offline
Problem signature 01: 6.1.7600.16385
Problem signature 02: 6.1.7600.16385
Problem signature 03: unknown
Problem signature 04: 21199815
Problem signature 05: autofailover
Problem signature 06: 4
Problem signature 07: bad patch
Os version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.1
Local Id: 1033

Any ideas?

i think id try a clean os install tbh, format a drive, bang it in, install a new copy of windows. it might play ball then?

as ^ i'd do a fresh install of windows

pretty sure windows links to mobo in some way, so switching from one comp to another could be the issue?

Clean install. You shouldn't really do what you are doing as it causes all sort of problems.

The same happens when I put a computer hard drive with links loaded onto it and then I tried it again with a Linux distro and it loaded, I am using backtrak 5 r3 for this

A quick google suggests those errors are caused by incompatible drivers, which would make sense seeing as you have changed everything and expect windows to just deal with it. Clean build is your only option.

Windows has a tariff system which adds up whats changed relative to its last successful build (i.e. CPU 5 points, MB 3 points etc.) if it goes above a certain amount then the system won't boot. Always do a fresh install when changing lots of things on a PC (about the most I would do without a fresh install would be RAM and GPU).

That's interesting I didn't know that, and thanks guys, going out to get a copy of windows tomorrow.
