Installing windows 7 crashes or restarts pc

[icebox87]

So i bought a new motherboard the gigabyte 970A-UD3P to be exact, i also bought a new SSD & HDD aswell to upgrade from my old HDDs.

My PC consists of:
CPU: AMD FX6300
Motherboard: Gigabye 970a-UD3P
Cooler: Hyper 212 evo
RAM: 2 x 4GB Hyperx Fury Blue @1600Mhz
GPU: Gigabyte HD 7870 2gb OC Edition
SSD: Adata 120GB
HDD: WD Blue 1TB
PSU: Corsair CX500M

So before i changed my motherboard out for the new one i decided to put the 1TB HDD in to get that ready and move everything i needed to keep onto that HDD and it works fine

Once i had sorted all that out i went and pulled out the old motherboard (asus m5a97 le r2.0) and repaced it got everything hooked up and turned it on.

It turned on and got to insert media and press any key to restart so i thought great, i turned the PC off and inserted my USB windows 7 boot drive.

Got into bios to make sure my usb and ssd were being detected and they were, so i set usb to boot first and reset my pc.

Everything was going fine i got into the install i partitioned the SSD and went about starting the Windows 7, Now ive had my PC Crash just as the windows 7 background comes up with the writing in the middle and other times it just reboots when it get between 30% and 70% of expanding files

I made a bootbale usb with and iso i downloaded from the windows iso site and used windows usb maker, i was wondering if that could be the cause and at this moment i am making a bootable disk from my windows install DVD

I put my old motherboard back in and put the old HDD with my windows 10 install on and that worsk fine so i dunno whats making my PC restart during windows 7 install its either the SSD or the PSU but i am going to try and install windows onto my SSD with the old motherboard installed as it might also be the motherboard at fault but any other ideas u guys have would be great because its rather annoying

How about to try install the win7 in that same old HDD, if you can do it, the SSD may have problem. If you can't do it. because you can install the win10, so I think the win7 OS is corrupted. Try download again and make other bootable USB drive.

I have made a new bootable usb drive from the win7 disk i have here at work so when i get home im gonna try and put windows 7 onto the ssd with my old motherboard in to see if i get any crashes and if i do then i know its the ssd

[update]

So after creating a new bootable usb disk and my old motherboard hooked back up i went and installed windows 7 on my SSD no problem at all, maybe the previous bootable disk i made up was corrupt i dont know but im unsure what the problem is now only thing i can do is either hook up my new motherboard and see if i can get it to boot into windows on my ssd now seeing as it is installed on there, if not then i can try to do a windows repair and see if that works

If you replace the motherboard, you have to reinstall Windows. Otherwise it will use the wrong drivers from the old system and will not boot & run properly.

Good luck.

Both MB, asus m5a97 le r2.0 and GA 970a-UD3P, have the same chipset so that it is fine, but you need to reactive the OS by phone.

 

[icebox87]

yeah i thought i would have to reactivate the OS by phone shouldnt be too much of a problem tho, just gotta hook my new MB up again and see if it will work,

also one thing when windows install onto the pc what drivers does it install because i installed windows tonite onto my SSD but didnt install any motherboard drivers

 

[cin19]

Chipset driver http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/chipset?os=Windows%208%20-%2032
LAN, audio, your GPU driver, antivirus, other like ccleaner, adata ssd toolbox, gaming mouse/keyboard if you use them.

So if I dont install any drivers after installing windows should I be able to install my new MB and get windows running then install all the new MB drivers or will i have to reinstall windows again

Upgrading from same chipset MB, yes, you can just move the HDD/SSD with OS in it to the new PC, boot the PC and install the new drivers. You don't have to reinstall the OS, but the best way is the clean re-installation. And moving from different chipset, like from amd to intel, I always do the clean installation.

the os on my ssd is a clean install i done last nite but using my old motherboard but i didnt install any of the old motherboard drivers, so i take it changing the MB and using that os on the ssd will work fine then i can just install all the drivers i need for chopset and new MB

Yes, you should be fine. Just plug the SSD in to boot the PC, install the drivers for the new MB, reactive the win7.

So i tried the new MB once again and the same thing was happening so i reinstalled windows to see if that would work and it did for all of about 20-30 mins then it either crashed or rebooted so i have decided to return the motherboard as i suspect it is faulty
