Hi guys, I recently built my new pc (specs below) and I'm having problems with Windows 7 crashes. I'll start with the specs then detail the symptoms and problems below.
Zalman Z9 Plus
Intel Core i5 2500k
ASrock Z68 Pro 3 Gen 3
Gigabyte 560Ti OC
8GB Crucial Ballistix 1600Mhz
Western Digital SATAIII 1TB
OCZ ZS 550w
Windows 7 64-bit
The first problem I ran into was installing Windows 7, the install would get stuck at "completing installation". To get past this I put my new hard drive into my old machine and installed Win 7 through that which worked, then after the initial boot to desktop I powered off the machine and put the hard drive back in my new machine (the reason I say this is because Windows does an initial boot sequence before the first desktop launch and I was wondering if this could be the problem, not having the first time boot in my new machine). I then installed the ASRock Drivers and Utilities, as well as some of the additional programmes (not Norton though). The final driver that I installed was the Gigabyte 560Ti from the CD and this is what I think the problem is. I did uninstall the intel HD graphics from the device manager so I don't think there is conflicting drivers. After shut down, on the next power up Windows crashes and a restart brings up the recovery tool which then says that the problem can't be fixed by Windows Recovery and the diagnostic report is as follows:
Problem Signature 01: 6.1.76900.16385
Problem Signature 02: 6.1.76900.16385
Problem Signature 03:
Problem Signature 04:
Problem Signature 05:
Problem Signature 06:
Problem Signature 07: [Bad Driver]
The square brackets are there because that might not be the exact wording but the error message was to that effect. If you need the other problem signature numbers just give me a post and I'll re-run the recovery on the new pc and jot everything down.
It seems fairly obvious that its a driver that's faulty but before I go on a wild goose chase I wanted to ask here to see if anyone has had/seen this problem before and which driver it is that's causing the fault or if its the fact that the Windows first time set up is done in another machine with different hardware.
Thanks in advance
