P8p67 pro first time bootup problem

[Hockysin]

I just got a new i5 2500k and p8p67 pro with a stick of 4gb corsair 1600 vengeance. It starts up then goes to windows system recovery and I tried all the settings, it goes to the screen with the bar than just bsod's. Im running vista. Any suggestions

Reinstall windows!

It was working perfectly fine this morning before I put new motherboard etc, in.

New motherboard, minimum repair install of windows recommended clean install!

 

[Hockysin]

Your saying take my motherboard back?

 

[rolli59]

No I am saying what you have to do when replacing motherboard! The windows install from the old installation does not have the drivers for the new one.

Old disk is fine. If it is an OEM you might have to call them to activate.

Sure you can reinstall Windows, and it might be the simplest fix.

However, if it was running fine then boot off the Windows DVD, press F8 until the 'Repair' screen appears and run System Restore, failure you have choices: Startup repair and lastly Reinstall Windows. If you reinstall Windows then run Windows update -- you might need to reinstall Apps.

What changes did you make to Windows i.e. installation, updates, drivers --- maybe a virus?

Question is this a B3 revision MOBO? If it's NOT B3 then stop -- RMA/exchange your MOBO.

i just wiped my harddrive (which needed it), and reinstalled vista works perfect now.

thanks!
