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 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.

Why am I getting a blue screen during windows support software installation?

After intalling windows 7 x64 (using boot camp 5.1), when I come to install windows support software to set up apple drivers for windows to run on my MacBook pro (late 2013), after installing a good number of drivers, I get suddenly a blue screen!....
What can I do, once windows is not strting up? It started well, but wth no proper drivers. Thanks.

I guess the first thing I would do would be to boot up using the original installation DVD and correct the permissions. That may not be the problem at all, it could be an incomplete upgrade install but at least you would know it isn't a permissions problem. I'd also run or verify the hard disk using this method.
How is it done? Turn machine on. Insert DVD 1 of the Install Disks, restart the machine, hold down the Command and the C keys (that tells the machine to look to the Rom drive and boot from it). Once it is up (will take a long minute or so...) go up to the top left where the install menu buttons are listed, look for the disk utility and run it. Tell it to verify and repair the disk and repair the permissions. Once done, quit the Disk Utility and select the restart option. Wait to see if your original desktop comes back.
If not, then you'll need to either "back out" the upgrade you installed or install your backup. If you don't have a backup you'll probably have to re-install OS X all over again (and probably lose all your previous data, apps, etc.). Let's hope it clears up first before you have to re-install.

IMac Freezes on blue screen during startup after installing itunes 9.2

I let iTunes update to 9.2 today on my 27" iMac quad and when it restarted itself it froze on startup at the blue screen. The blue screen switches between two different shades but never exits that loop. I CAN boot in safe mode (which is what i'm doing right now).
Thus far i've tried:
- reinstalling itunes
- resetting my pram
- uninstalling itunes
- removing itunes startup app
I still cannot boot normally. Help!

You might try booting from your install CD and running disk repair in Disk Utility.

Lenovo 1051 blue-screened during windows 10 update

Hello, I downloaded the Windows 10 update and in the middle of the update, the tablet crashed. I'm receiving a start up message saying my tablet needs to restart. It restarts then give error code 0x0000225. It says press windows key to access UEFI tools. Press the windows key nothing happens. After boot i've held f8 and looked at the boot options and nothing. I've held f10 and went to some weird BIOS command type screen, it appears my recovery partition has been corrupted during the update. Not really sure what left to do. I've looked all over the place and no one seems to be in the same situation. I really hope I didn't just brick the whole thing when I got it last september. THANKS FOR ANY HELP IN ADVANCE! Jordan

I had a similar issue with my Tablet Lenovo MIIX 2 8. I was not able to reset my PC using the recovery tool. You may want to try and build a Win10 USB bootable and boot/install from the USB. I was able to refresh my Tablet with a clean install and works like charm now. Hope this helps.

Black screen during windows 7 install on mac mini

I have a mac mini 2013. Trying to install windows 7 via usb iso file. downloaded iso file to mac mini desktop from windows supported site. This is a 30 trial that can be installed after 30 with a genuine key, which I plan on buying. 8 gb usb stick. dloaded latest updates for OS and bootcamp. Ran bootcamp. pointed to iso file. partitioned 200GB fro windows 7 home version. clicked advanced and formatted disk for bootcamp..( load driver was also available, what is that??)
checked ALL 3 options BTW. It expands and loads files every time and gets to install select lang...etc. then computer restarts and hangs at black screen. caps and num lock light up when pressed, no other response. I can boot to safe mode in Windows but it say it has to return to normal mode to finish install, which then returns me to black screen. I can reboot to white apple screen with disk options and choose usb drive and it says loading files, then goes back to starting windows, windows logo appears, then black screen and just sits there have waited 30 minutes and nothing. I have read this could be a graphics driver issue? If so is there a way to force the support drivers to load, and how? this is for my Son and we have tried for a couple months with no luck, does the trial version have anything to do with it? I would pay for a windows 7 iso file download but no luck.

Hi wb2009,
I haven't found that the TV would be an issue, but did find an article that states to not have extra USB devices connected.
Boot Camp: Windows installation boots to black screen with blinking cursor
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4536
The Windows installation may boot to a black screen with a blinking cursor. This can occur if you use a USB optical drive or USB Flash drive for the Windows installation and another USB device is also connected to the computer.
There's another article that mentions Windows XP or Vista that may apply.

Audigy 4 gives blue screen during install of drivers on Windows XP SP3

FAudigy 4 gives blue screen during install of drivers on Windows XP SP3! Specs
Asus a8n-sli
GB RAM
6600 GT
Audigy 4
LC Power 550 W PSU
I put in the installation CD that comes with the card. I want to install everything (full install), and mid-install I get a blue screen.
I then uninstalled everything and tried only to install the updated drivers from the website in safe-mode and still a blue screen. Should I get the dump file and send it to Creative?
How do get this card to work like it should? I also have a remote control that came together with the card.
Im currently using the onboard AC97 Realtek ALC850 soundcard.
Whats the whole procedure to make this work? Detailed please. How do I eliminate all traces of the audigy on my PC?

Re: Audigy 4 gives blue screen during install of drivers on Windows XP SP38 Perhaps you'd want to read this old thread of mine about my misadventures with the same exact card you are trying to use. IMHO that card was not worth the time and money I spent on it (even even less the time and money it caused me to spend afterwards to repair the damage it caused.

I5 17''MBP gets blue screen during install windows 7 32 bit

Hello all:
I heard that quite many people get classic windows' "blue screen" during using windows , whatever Windows XP, Vista or 7. But now i face the "blue screen" during install Windows 7, which means I even can not complete installation.
I bought my Macbook Pro i5 17'' one month ago, and I'm trying to install Windows 7 but I face the problem during the installation. After finishing first 4 steps the computer would restart and start to "finish installation", but at this time it gets "blue screen" and shows "error: 0x0000009c" and stuck there. I have to shut down the turn off button and interrupt the installation.
I don't know if there's any one else face this unlucky situation. I searched on the net and it says the problem could be from memory, graphic card (too new), or even overlocking the cpu,whatever it must be the problem of hardware. I thought it might be the problem of compatible.
If anyone knows how to deal with this problem??!! I do need to use some software under Windows system!

It is good to see that it is indeed a USB2.
The support software on the USB is used in the Pre-boot environment setup and provides drivers for Apple specific hardware, GPU, BT, Mouse, etc. You can verify that by looking at the USB contents. The DVD contains generic drivers when hardware is not recognized as defaults to use. Apple does enough 'secret sauce' to make them different. The following does not explicitly state the USB2 need when using the DVD Installer and mentions W8 (not W7).
From Boot Camp: Creating an ISO image from a Windows installation DVD - Apple Support
Insert a blank USB 2 flash drive that is a least 16GB in size into a USB port on the computer. Boot Camp Assistant uses this drive to store the Windows 8 install media and support drivers during installation of Windows.
Note: This flash drive needs to be formatted for the FAT32 file system and must use the Master Boot Record partitioning scheme. Use Disk Utility to check the format of the flash drive before proceeding, and partition or erase the flash drive if necessary.
I suspect the GPU is not getting the correct driver and the Installer fails. The Generic VGA should work. From the OS X side, can you see files in your BC volume? If yes, can you look for logs in the BC volume at the following locations.
./Windows/Inf/setupapi.dev.log
./Windows/Inf/setupapi.offline.log
./Windows/Inf/setupapi.setup.log

MSI NF980-G65 freezes when trying to boot from disc

I just recently purchased and received an MSI NF980-G65 motherboard to work with my AMD Phenom II x6 1055T, but sadly I have had nothing but trouble.
So far the motherboard posts its bios and has the ability to detect any (and all) of my hard drives when I have them plugged in. The hard drive that has Windows installed on it currently informs me that I need to put in my Windows disc and run the repair utility, which makes sense since I was using a completely different motherboard and CPU before.
It is when I try to press any key to boot from disc that the problem arises. When I press a key on my keyboard while that prompt is on screen, the cursor jumps as if I had hit the tab key and does nothing further.
I have a total of three copies of Windows 7 at my disposal to use, two are DVDs I had burned from using my student discount to get them, and one set (32-bit and 64-bit) were in a retail copy of home premium, all of the discs performed the same action. I had tried using different SATA cables, different power adapters, and even different DVD players to try and remedy the situation.
The hard drive with windows is an IDE hard drive, but I have tried my other SATA hard drives just to be sure, none of which fixed the problem.
I have heard briefly about m-flash, but as far as I can tell, it would appear this new motherboard did come with the latest bios version (1.4).

For the boot, I have tried both setting up the DVD player as the initial boot, and I have tried just selecting it in the boot menu.
As per the posting guide, here are more specific information:
Processor: AMD Phenom II X6 2.8 GHz, 9.0 MB Total Cache, AM3 Socket
Motherboard: MSI NF980-G65 v. 1.2 bios (I'm going to try and flash this to a later now, I didn't know where to look for it before) , 601-7612-010B1004183389
RAM: G. Skill Ripjaw DDR3-1600 PC3-12800 2gb x 1 until I get this working, then it will be x4
Power Supply: Tagan BZ Series 700W
DVD: Samsung SH-S223 DVD burner with Lightscribe
HDD: Western Digital 250GB IDE drive

MSI NF980-G65 - How to disable on-board video? (EVGA says to do this?) GTX260

I need your help.
Just upgraded my system to use MSI's NF980-G65 SLI board. I only have 1 EVGA GTX260 card right now and I purchased this board so I could add another GTX260 later this spring. The GTX260 worked on my last ASUS board just fine but the NF980-G65 doesn't see it.. at least I think it doesn't see it. I can boot off the mother board video fine, Windows 7 x64 boots up fine but doesn't see my gtx card in the device list it does report vid as (nforce 980 sli) or something like that. When I power off and plug my monitor into my GTX260, the video does not work (the system continues to boot and I can hear the windows7 start up music), I've tried both video terminals on the card but nothing. EVGA says if my mother board has on-board video that I'll need to disable it and the card will work (I did not have to do this on my last board though, but that board was not an SLI board either). BUT when I go into the bios there is no option to turn off the on-board video? Is this right? Does anyone know how to do this or am I missing something? I've done allot of research on line and there were a few post saying that even with only one card installed that I will only use the mother board video plug only... is this right? Is windows not suppose to report my video card as being a GTX260 but as a 980 SLI? Sorry I'm new to this SLI stuff.
MSI NF980-G65 w/6G DDR3 Patriot
EVGA GTX260 (installed in first PCI-E x16 slot 'labeled as PCI-E2'), yes both power plugs are plugged in.
AMD Athlon II X4
650W PSU
Windows 7 x64 Home Premium
The system seems to work fine with the on-board video. I used the MSI auto updater to make sure all drivers and the bios are up to date and nothing reported back as needing updating, all though when I searched MSI's site manually there is a newer bios available but haven't dared install it yet.
Is there anyone out there that runs this board with only 1 GTX card? Does your system see it? Help!
THX!
MX

Thanks for your help guys. Still no go.
In the "Chipset Feature" there is no disable on board VGA listed. It list these items only.
HPET [Disabled]
Hybrid SLI Support [Disabled]
VGA Share Memory Auto [Auto]
VGA Share Memory [64M]
I've tried disabling the VGA Share memory, but on boot the mother board gives me a set of 5 or so beeps and then no video works. I have to reset the CMOS after that, so I can see the bios setup screen again.
The above settings is how the board came stock and it's how it returns after I do a reset. I'm starting to wonder if the PCI-E slots are not functioning or my GTX260 got fried moving from one mother board to another (I'm always strapped to ground when I work on electronics). I'll go through the motions tonight to put my asus board back in and test my GTX card. If it works after the swap and you guys have no other suggestions I'll send the board back to MSI for repair. If the board is bad then this will be my last MSI board, over the last 5 years I've gone through 3 MSI mother boards. MSI always has the features I want but I just don't have the luck with them. My last board (ASUS) doesn't support SLI or I'd still be using it... maybe it's time to go ATI and the crossfire route... I hope not, I'm a real big Nvidia fan.
Anyhow, if you guys have any other suggestions I'd very much appreciate it. Thanks again. - MX

So lately my computer has been having some issues, Blue screening, Not booting past the MSI MB logo, taking ages to enter BIOS etc..
Now it wont boot at all, not even into Bios.
I dont know whats wrong and i dont have access to another MB or CPU.
Ive tried a different HD and also even taking the GPU out and running from the integrated VGA.
Ive run the system with each 2GB stick each with no difference and yes ive checked the Power connecters etc and a different PSU too.
Any ideas?
MB? CPU? i think its one of the two?
Any help would be much appreicated!

Yup tried different memory and everything

I thought with modern power supplies though it can't fry stuff
If a PSU breaks down, it breaks down. When internal voltage regulators of a PSU malfunction for some reason, the supply voltages to the components can become horribly dirty and unstable. Sudden voltage spikes could have killed any component.

unless the ram or motherboard came to me already DOA, id have no way of knowing
Well, in order to know, you have to test your stuff. In case you do not have spare (and functioning!) components for testing purposes you are screwed. Bring your system to a computer shop for assistance (or: RMA everything).

New MSI NF980-G65 AM3

This is my first mobo swap i have ever made. I am wondering what i should do besides the obvious unplugging everything and plugging it into the new mobo. As i am a novice in this area. My specs are below, i am getting a new amd x4 and the MSI Nf980-g65 am3. I would like to know if there are any problems i should expect or anything i should do to prepare for this swap or any general information or handy knowledge just to know. Thanks for you all your help. I just wish for my first mobo swap to go smoothly.

If yor not reinstalling your OS, first download all of the latest drivers for your new system (graphics, motherboard, sound, etc). Find and download DriverCleanerPro or Driver Sweeper. Then uninstall all of the chipset, graphics, LAN, sound and motherboard drivers, noting what they are (nvidia, creative, ATI, Turtle Beach etc etc). After uninstalling the drivers, reboot into safe mode (hit F8 after the BIOS screen goes away) and run your driver cleaning program. Que up all of the drivers you uninstalled and remove all entries then shut the system down, swap the hardware, boot it up and install the new drivers for your new stuff.
