I apologise if this has been asked and answered previously; I've been browsing the internet, including this forum, for a day or so with little success.
So: I have a Packard Bell iXtreme i6525. I decided to upgrade, and to that end bought a Gigabyte GTX760, a Corsair Carbide 300R case, and a Corsair CX500 PSU. The old case had a 'PANEL' cable which connected the power button to the motherboard; the new case merely has a Power SW cable, which doesn't seem to do anything when placed on the motherboard in the supposed correct place, so instead I'm kickstarting the computer using the touch-screwdriver-to-pins trick. I also have a couple of other cables floating around in the new case because I can't find a place to put them. Before anyone mentions it - I followed the diagram on the motherboard which shows where to put the Power/Reset SW cables, and it didn't do anything. This paragraph isn't the issue, but it might be a cause so I'm listing information.
At the moment, my new case has all the components from the old build in (apart from the PSU, which is the new Corsair) - this is because I left the old GPU (GT420) in the build so I could browse the net and download the appropriate GTX760 driver, shut down, switch card, restart, etc. This is where the issue comes in:
When booting up and selecting Windows 7 in my GRUB list, it loads fine up until the Windows icon has finished loading; however, it then blue screens with title line 'IRQL_NOT_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO', or as best as I could read. However, if I boot it in Ubuntu, the system is perfectly stable. I ran startup repair and had a look at the information log, it apparently found one root cause which is as follows:
"Root cause found:
Unknown bugcheck: bugcheck a. Parameters = 0x18, 0x2, 0x0, 0xfffff800030b72ac.
Repair action: System Restore
Result: Failed. Error code = 0x490
Time taken = 0 ms
Repair action: System files integrity check and repair
Result: Failed. Error code = 0x490
Time taken = 555598 ms"
I'm pretty sure it's not a RAM error, as memtest86+ did four passes and detected no errors, and Ubuntu boots and runs fine. Any help would be much appreciated; thank you.
