A55M-P33 Blue Screen installing Windows XP?

Very simple build:
A55M-P33
AMD A4-3400 Llano 2.7GHz Socket FM1 65W Dual-Core Desktop APU (CPU + GPU)
G.SKILL Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-1600C9D-8GAB
Kingston HyperX 3K SH103S3/90G 2.5" 90GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
Lite-On BD player
Nothing else in the system at all
I left all BIOS settings at their defaults, all I did was set the date and time.
SATA ports are set for IDE mode
I boot to the CD - Windows XP Home, an old CD with no service packs - and run setup. All seems to be working fine.
After the first auto reboot the Setup performs, it's continuing setup, it gets to the point where it's "Installing Devices", and BAM, the BSOD. IRQL not equal or some such nonsense.
Additional info:
- Win 7 installs and runs fine (but I need XP due to a particular very important app that only runs in XP)
- Tried swapping out the SSD in favor of a Seagate 500GB SATA drive - got the exact same symptom
- I an put an image of a working XP system onto the SSD, and it starts to boot, but then before it gets to the welcome screen it reboots, and is stuck in a never ending cycle
- A repair installation of the aforementioned image appears to complete successfully, but the boot loop repeats
- An attempt to boot into safe mode in the aforementioned image causes a hang while loading winnt\system32\drivers\agp440.sys (the image came from a system with agp video)
I'd just as soon do the clean install, as opposed to the image thing, but the BSOD issue prevents it
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Does anything in the BIOS need to be changed to install and run XP?
Anything else I should try?
Thanks

Using old images from totally different systems will in no case work. A fresh install should do with default settings. Maybe try with just one stick of ram first.
Thanks for the suggestion ... tried it, no change, still get the BSOD while "Installing Devices".
Grrr, this is aggravating. This should be very simple.
Just an FYI, I've had some success in the past with changing motherboards in existing systems without doing a clean install of Windows ... but yeah, it's hit or miss. Sometimes the Repair Install of XP turns a miss into a hit but not this time.

  • Blue screen in windows 7

    I have been getting the blue screen after windows has been running for a while. Sometimes it happens when I am trying to install something. I have uploaded minidump files to the sky drive but I can't seem to read them, I tried copying and pasting them to
    the desktop and opening them as notepad files but all I get is gibberish, at least it is to me. I need to know how to make these accessible to the pros so I can repair this problem. I have the Technical information from the blue screen here:

    These worked but were inconclusive 0oease run driver verifier to pin down the misbehaving driver.
    These crashes were related to memory management (probably caused by a driver). 
    Please run these tests to verify your memory and find which driver is causing the problem.  Since this appears to be a driver I would start with driver verifier.
    If you are overclocking (pushing the components beyond their design) you should revert to default at least until the crashing is solved. If you don't
    know what it is you probably are not overclocking.

  • MacBook Pro won't boot (question mark folder) after blue screen on windows bootcamp

    Hi,
    So, I was on windows, using bootcamp, and I was creating partitions on a pen drive with it, and then it asks me that it needs to restart to apply changes.
    But then, while restarting, a blue screen occurred (**** windows).... And I forced the shutdown pressing the power key.
    Then, I simply turned the MacBook on, trying to boot on my snow leopard and I got a flashing folder with a question mark on it.
    Now I can't access any partitions on it, if I press option key on startup I get a blank window!
    I tried to reset PRAM, repair the MacOs partition using the snow leopard DVD (it shows up fine, along with windows partition and EFI partition), and I still don't get my startup disk showing up...
    How can I fix this? I can't loose my files and I need to work with it :/

    I just fixed it!
    For future reference, what I did was:
    - Booting from OSX DVD, go to disk utility
    - Erase windows partition (yap, I lost it...)
    - Do a "repair disk" on every partition of my hard drive
    - Restart
    And it just worked ;)
    Thankfully I had no important files on my windows partition, now I will just reinstall it.

  • Blue Screen during Windows install on SATA Raid1

    Hi Folks!
    I have a BIG problem with my brand new Eclipse SLI.
    I can't install Windows (tried Vista and XP x64). It crashes already in the beginning!!! 
    I'm not an OC,yet so all my settings are like default or AUTO. Only my memory I set to 1600 through automatic settings.
    Flashed in a brand new 1.6 BIOS.
    Now, anytime I start the Windows setup if crashes with a blue screen when it comes to the point it tries to access the hard discs.
    I was already able to set up a new partition and then Visat was extracting files. But after a few minutes (1% finished) it crash.
    The blue screen indicates that it had problems to write a file.
    Thing is ... it's always at different times, but still at the beginning of the setup. Sometime it don't get the setup even running.
    I tried the Drive Booster RAID and the JMicron. Always created a new RAID1!
    Sometimes the board freezed even by entering the BIOS.
    I already figured it my be to hot.
    Here my temperatures.  CPU: 28- 35C, IOH: 50-68C, System: 35C
    But I already read that IOH temperatur seems normal.
    So what's the problem?
    PLEEEEEAAAASSEEEEE HEEEEEEEEEELP !!!! 

    Thanks!
    Found myself a solution. Deactivated all additional features in the BIOS. Now it'S working even with 1600 RAM frequency.
    Trying now to still do some OC without getting into the same trouble.

  • 975X PUE SATA RAID Windows XP Blue Screen Install

    Hi,
    I've just purchased a new MSI 975X PUE motherboard and am trying to install Windows on it.
    I have connected 2x WD Raptor 36GB drives, and set them up in a RAID 0 array using the Ctrl+I RAID BIOS utility. I have set the SATA config in the BIOS to RAID mode, and turned off the other SATA controller... The RAID BIOS detects the array ok after it has been set up, and shows it as OK.
    When I boot from a Windows XP SP2 CD I press F6 and choose the RAID Driver for ICH7R RAID. Windows tells me that it already has a driver but this version is newer, so I say to use the one on the floppy (I have tried without doing this and Windows does not detect any Hard Drives at all).
    Once I have loaded the drivers it continues loading the other drivers for the setup, and then gets to "Loading Windows Setup", here is waits for a minute or so and the blue screens.... The stop code is 0x7B (INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE)...
    I have upgraded the BIOS from 7.0 to 7.1 (not 7.2 yet as I have read about problems with it).
    I've tried various versions of the drivers from different locations, and each time it blue screens in exactly the same place... I'm beginning to get very annoyed with this as I shouldn't be expected to find my own drivers when there are ones supplied on the CD...
    Is anyone able to suggest what I could do?
    Thanks
    [EDIT] Also I have tried an install of Windows Vista Beta and that installed fine using the drivers from the CD...

    I must say again that the problem is located in the memory modules. As suggested by Hans before, try running memtest86 first,
    http://filexoom.com/files/2006/11/1/41824/memtest86%2B-1.65.floppy.zip
     and sometimes even if tests runs fine, doesn't mean that memory is OK. It just might be that that type of memory doesn't fit within your MB. As I mention before, my friend was using Corsair for his MB(getting the message INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE), and after replacing with A-Data(definitely lower quality memory), everything went fine. So, try with another memory.
     As for Murphyman, when you use the yellow connector, you are using the Jmicron controller,witch asks for RAID drivers before you use the device installed on it. The blue IDE controller is controlled by Intel's ICH7DH, and no RAID driver is need. So, try connecting the DVD drive on the blue connector, and see if will work.

  • MSI NF980-G65 Blue Screen during Windows XP Install - HELP !!!

    I have a MSI NF980-G65 motherboard and it works great with Windows 7 but I can't install Windows XP Home edition 32 bit. Win XP checks hardware, then loads all initial files and when the blue screen with the license agreement should pop open I get a blue screen with an error message that says the computer was stopped to prevent damage to the hardware, that the HDD might not have enough room on it and/or the BIOS might need updating.
    The HDD has Win 7 on it and it's a 250GB drive so there should be more than enough room on the HDD and the NF980 came with the latest BIOS v1.4
    Anyone have any experience and a fix so I can install Win XP ? Thanks

    Then the problem is elsewhere, as that was fixed with SP1.
    Or his disk doesn't even contain that level.
    However, when pre-partitioned to NTFS even without SP1 should install.
    I doubt the problem is his CDrom.
    What he needs to do is get http://www.bootdisk.com/ntfs.htm
    Run NTFS4DOS and do a checkdisk.
    Yes that will solve his problem, as Windows (from 2000 to W7) are to stupid to do a checkdisk when the disk is in a certain state.
    And even a Windows bootdisk can't solve it and crashed with the error he has.
    Only Linux or NTFS-DOS can do a check disk and restore the error M$-NTFS makes it failing too boot or reinstall.

  • Blue screen error Windows 7 after June 2014 Windows updates

    Hi,
    just wondering if someone could help determine the cause of a blue screen error from interpreting the following minidump file. My PC has been having blue screen problems after getting the automatic windows updates recently. Initially the only way I could
    get the computer working was to restore the system back to prior to the updates. The updates seem to have now successfully installed but are still causing occasional blue screen errors. I have Windows 7 Home Premium

  • D20 Blue Screen loading Windows 7-64bit using Intel controller and Marvell enabled

    Hi, Help,
    Hardware:
    D20, 4158, Four 500GB Seagate SATA drives configured as a RAID10 1TB virtual disk (partitioned into five logical drives).
    Goal:
    Recover or repair a degraded RAID array.
    I want to be able to launch Windows 7-64bit using the Intel controller and have it access the virtual disk of the degraded RAID array attached to the Marvell controller.  Subsequently, I want to use the Marvell MRU utility to repair/recover the situation.
    Situation/Issue:
    Things ran well for two years and two months until yesterday.  Now, when booting I see:
    1962: No operating system found. Press F1 to repeat boot sequence.
    If I use the Windows 7 installation CD and load the Marvell driver, the attempt to recover the operating system reports that the MBR is corrupt and cannot be repaired.
    If I boot with the Marvell controller disabled in the D20 BIOS, using a Windows 7 installation (with Marvell drivers) attached to the Intel controller, everything works except (of course) I cannot access the RAID drives.
    If I reboot with the Marvell controller enabled, using the same Windows 7 installation via Intel controller, I see a "Starting Windows" announcement followed by a flash of the blue screen of death.
    The BSOD message is unspecific, no error code, just...
    "A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
    If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen,
    restart your computer..."
    Additional information:
    If I access the Marvell BIOS (ctrl-M) and look at Devices, one of the four Seagate drives has status FREE instead of status ASSIGNED.  If I run the Marvell BIOS verify disk utility diagnosic on that FREE status disk, I get a fault error after about 30 minutes of scanning.  So, one Seagate disk is sour and somehow the MBR was corrupted at the same time.
    History:
    Two years ago, during the intial configuration, I could access the Marvell RAID disks from this Intel-controller-booted Windows 7 installation, but my fuzzy memory is that I had to change something in the D20 BIOS, such as the AHCI setting or similar.
    Status:
    Today, using the Intel controller to boot Windows 7 with the Marvell controller enabled is just BSOD.  What am I missing or failing to do or set?
    Thank you in advance for any help and ideas.
      -John
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Update:
    I replaced the 500GB Seagate disk with a new 500GB Seagate.  I ran the Marvell BIOS verify disk utility on the new disk drive and it passed with no errors.  Following the steps given in the Marvell MRU online help, I rebuilt the virtual disk.  Upon completion (which took a little more than an hour to complete), I rebooted.  Before the Seagate disk went south yesterday, the Marvell virtual disk contained one primary partition (C, and four NTFS drives (D:, E:, F:, and Z.  Now it contains three primary NTFS drives (C:, F:, and Z.  An extended partition contains D: (an unformatted volume of size 199.30MB) and an unused space of 199.30GB.
    Event log:
    Looking at the event log, Windows reports that the disk in question raised a warning yesterday.  Three messages share the same timestamp (all from mv64xx (a Marvell process):
    "Physical disk 16 is plugged out."
    "Virtual disk 0 is degraded."
    "Physical disk 16 is plugged in."
    Eight seconds later, UserPnp logs:
    "Driver Management has concluded the process to add Service disk for Device Instance ID SCSI\DISK&VEN_SEAGATE&PROD_ST3500418AS&REV_CC38\5&248BBE23&0&000100 with the following status: 0"
    One second later, UserPnp logs:
    "Driver Management concluded the process to install driver FileRepository\disk.inf_amd64_neutral_10ce25bbc5a9cc43\disk.inf for Device Instance ID SCSI\DISK&VEN_SEAGATE&PROD_ST3500418AS&REV_CC38\5&248BBE23&0&000100 with the following status: 0x0."
    Questions:
    Is it possible that UserPnp corrupted the Marvell virtual disk after an intermittent physical disk unplugged/plugged-in event that happened when the Seagate hardware went failed.  It looks to me like my D: and E: are toast despite RAID 10.
    Any ideas?  Is there anyway to recover the Marvell virtual disk configuration to the state prior to the hardware failure?  If not, what good is RAID 10?
    My apologies for the long posting, but I am an old software guy who does not understand the intricacies of RAID and disk management.
    Thank you in advance for any leads toward a solution,

  • Can't get past blue screen on Windows partition

    I have been using bootcamp for a little over a month now. It had been working great. But suddenly today, Windows will not boot up- It stays on a blue screen, and gives me options to restart (which does nothing) and Advanced Options (which none of the methods help)- and basically it won't start up.
    That makes me wonder, if there is anything I can do to fix the problem- or must I delete the bootcamp partition, and then start all over again? Good news is that my Windows 8.1 is the Full version, and not an OEM version.
    Thanks for any advice
