PC crashes trying to install Windows

Steampunk said:
I've seen something similar when installing Win 7 on a drive set as RAID in the BIOS. Install runs fine, and then crashes when trying to reboot because it doesn't have the correct RAID drivers and can't read the disk. You need to supply the RAID drivers at the beginning of the installation, and then it works fine. Or set your drive back to AHCI.

I was thinking the samething which is why i was going to suggest try win 10

Even doing those options it still doesn't work on all systems I had hp and sony laptop which would still refuse.

That RAM is definitely 533MHz according to this datasheet.According to Gigabyte's specification page here, there is no support for 533MHz modules.

That's what I posted above, it seems to be 533mhz and not the 800 it was sold as. Maybe i'm wrong or missed something, or reading it wrongly. Could be the reason why it's freezing out in the final stages on Windows install.

Is the guy on the MM not offering some help with this? It strikes me as a driver issue. What hard drive are you using?

Yep i'm in contact, he's advising on things to try, which I've exhausted pretty much everything now, other than testing different RAM. Going to try another memtest86+, see if I can get further with and older version.


Cheers for the help guys very much appreciated :)
 
Maybe if you slacken the memory timings you might be able to get away with using the 533 RAM, but I certainly wouldn't rely on it.
