I just built my first computer and am now attempting to do an install of Windows 7 Professional (64 bit). I am encountering BSOD during the install.
I downloaded the ISO and burned it to disc and had BSOD issues. At first I thought possibly that it was the ISO or the burn, but now I am using a disk that has been used successfully on other computers.
My specs are as follows
Gigabyte P55-UD4P (F3 bios)
Intel i5 750
4 GB of Crucial DDR3 RAM (2x2GB)
WD Caviar Black 640 GB Hard drive
Sapphire Radeon 5850HD
I have adjusted the BIOS to boot to the DVD drive first. In addition, the BIOS came not set to AHIC (I think that is what it is called. I heard that it can cause problems.) I have made no changes in the BIOS.
I have encountered BSOD at different times. First I got it during the Windows 7 installation, at 1%. Now I've gotten it before you are even able to select the language to install it in (the first screen you are presented with I believe).
I have gotten different errors, but unfortunatly I only wrote one of them down, the most recent. It says "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA" and the tech info says: "STOP: 0x00000050"
I really don't know exactly where to start to troubleshoot this. I really don't know if it's a hardware or software issue.
Thanks in advance.
