Well I'm not having much success setting up an old PC to use as a testing rig. It is older, but did work fine a few years back with a GTX 750ti. Now it just keeps crashing.
Specs:
Nforce 680i SLI lt motherboard
GTX 460 and also tried GTX 560, both I believe showed error code 43 in device manager even though driver 391.35 downloaded successfully.
Seasonic Prime Ultra 650W PSU. Using 2 separate cables not single piggy. Uh oh that's a whole different discussion.
Single DVD.
This happened before and I thought it was a bad PSU because I tried other drivers and nothing worked. The 460 I know nothing about, but the 560 worked fine in a different PC prior. I had to reinstall Windows 7 ultimate to get system to even boot properly. I installed a working HD 6450 to utilize the HDMI port so I'd have video, but now when I go in and set it to boot from DVD to just reinstall Windows 7 again I get a black screen if death with the msg: Windows failed to start. A recent hardware on software change may have caused this. Try to fix by... and gives me several options including the last which is reinstall Windows 7. Towards the bottom it shows status 0xc0000225,and then an unexpected error has occurred.
Everytime I boot from DVD with my official, authentic windows 7 ultimate DVD it crashes. I'm wondering now if the HDD is toast or what's going on.
Any help/advice would be appreciated.
Thank you.
