OK, I bought a new kit. I pulled the MB (xfx nvidea 740a , OCZ SLI Ready 4GB 2x2GB DDR2 800MHz PC2 6400 , and phenom 9500.
I had no problem installing the new Z87-pro with I7-4770 with a sapphire 7770, it is up and running first try.
The old kit was installed into moms tower/psu
There is no Video card, and NO other cards installed at this time.
Despite making no changes (other than I took out the 7770), I did receive a bios checksum fail (once)
Now I have been unable to install Windows 7 Home premium x64
During installation. I was receiving
PFN_LIST_CORRUPT 0x0000004E (0x0000000000000099)
I pulled out the ram, reseated one of the 2 (closest to cpu)
and ran memtest no errors found.
I reloaded the windows 7 setup in safe mode.
and the install goes further, and I get
PAGE_FAULT_IN-NON-PAGE_AREA
stop: 0x00000050 (0xFFFFF6FC007F8000, 0X0000000000000000, 0xFFFFF8000C4D9D27.0
Still no OS,
I have a friend trying to bootstrap sata drivers to an install disk, thinks that the 3rd party drivers are causing the problem.
I was sure it was ram, I have ran memtest86+-5.01. on the 1 stick of ram, and have seen no errors. I have not tested the other one, but I receive the same error with either and or both.
I suspect a conflict with the (xfx nvidea 740a) settings.
my next step will be to install the 7770 and see if it works with a video card, and the on board video disabled. I am not holding my breath.
Ok here is an update.
first of my hard drive options are
Raid
Sata
Achi
do I want sata or achi? they are 6 gb/s HD
Next I will look for the voltage on my ram, and look into bumping the voltage, but I do not believe it is necessary.
Lastly
I just installed a x32 windows 7, with NO hiccups.
The version of 7 is not activated, nor will it for obvious reasons, it was just to see IF it would install, and it does.
So what would prevent a Phenom 9500 with a xfx 740a from loading in x64.
I have not tried flashing the bios. nor would I know where to find it or how to flash it.
there are stories that version 7 is buggy, and to use version 6, not htat I know where either are.
It is a fresh install.
