Computer was running great for 4 years, no HW/SW changes, probably crashed less than 5 times during that time. One day while opening a program computer suddenly crashed and rebooted, and would not go to Windows. I decided to do a clean reinstall.
When installing Win 7 (after reformat/partition HDD) it goes to the very last step Completing Install, and then I get a BSOD page fault non-paged area and reboot. After the reboot:
1. If I select Safe Mode --> I get an error saying Win 7 install was not completed, so not available
2. If I select Start Win Normally --> I get an error saying Win 7 install was not completed, and reboot
What I have tried:
-trying install on 2 fresh different HDD, same results
-Memtest, no errors. Same results with single RAM stick, or 2 stick combinations on appropriate memory configurations per mobo manual
-changing the SATA ports connecting HDD to mobo
-changing BIOS and reinstalling as either IDE/AHCI
-reset to default BIOS settings
-booting Win XP from disc has no issues
-booting Linux from different HDD has no issues
i3 540 CPU
Asus P7H55-M PRO
3 x G.Skill 2GB DDR3, all same model/size (6GB total)
Have tried WD 500GB Caviar Green (original), WD 1TB Caviar Blue (new), WD 2TB Caviar Green (new)
Any suggestions?
