Hi, I'm Malaysian, my home built computer is 1 year old now, and recently my computer just seems to fail, almost unusable...
the issue start with my computer suddenly unable to boot into window 7 64bit, and I found out that this is probably due to my faulty HD that has many bad sector. Thankfully i'm able to backup my file to a new HDD.
The second issue i faced is that i'm unable to install window 7 64bit to the new HDD, it keeps on reboot during installation when reached to the register setting or registry settings part, after the installation successfully copied and expand, and reboot to continue the installation.
I'm unable to repair the window 7 using the DVD, and unable to go into safe mode as the window installation is not complete. It just keep rebooting at the register settings part.
So, i decided to try installing window XP instead, to my surprice, my window XP installation fail as well, as it reboot every time when first boot into the window after installation complete. but this issue somehow is solved by unplug my mouse and keyboard when it boot into window XP.
After that, every time I restart computer, i encounter once or twice the sudden reboot when my mouse is plugin, until i decided to switch mouse and use another usb port.
Fourth issue that i encounter is that, I cannot install any motherboard driver or graphic card driver into window XP, i tried a few version of drivers and used the cd instead of dl-ed driver, i even update my mobo bios, but to no avail.
Now, i only running my window XP with all windows default driver, and i suspect that this is my mobo or power supply problem.
after the mouse/usb reboot problem somehow not happening anymore, now my DVD burner ROM is causing reboot when i try to read CD or DVD, this never happen when i'm installing window XP, even during the installation of window 7, the copy and expand file from cd is no problem as well, i'm not tested any burning yet as i haven't install any burning program.
The reading CD/DVD issue stoped after i change to another DVD/CD burning combo drive. But i doubt that the DVD burner is faulty.
I've tried using memtest x64 but no error is found with my ram, and since i'm using a new HDD instead of the full of bad sectors one, so it can't be HDD problem anymore.
Things that i'm not yet try is, i'm not yet try changing power supply and install back window 7 64bit, as someone told me that installation can fail if power supply is not supplying enough power. I'm not yet try changing the whole motherboard to see if the mobo really the source of all this issue.
both of this trial will probably cost me a hole in my wallet, so i'm hoping to find some comment here.
There is no decent power supply or mobo that i can borrow from my friend for a test.
I don't wish to send back to the shop for a test, as this will be troublesome for some reason.
Question now is:
1)If it is not ram, HDD or DVD burner problem what probably cause that cause the fail of window 7 installation, but the success of window XP installation, with failing of driver installation?
2)Will the failing of enough power from power supply causing the fail of window 7 installation?
3)What scenario will prevent the successful installation of new driver in window XP, is it really compatibility?
4)The sudden reboot of reading DVD or mouse in usb port, is it hardware problem? or due to my issue of unable to install driver? Or is it motherboard failure?
I'm really confused for the past 6 days, as 1 issue after another, hope to get some help, as i search around in the net many cases that is similar like me, seems to be mobo compatibility or problem.
My Spec:
core i5-750
4 GB DDR 3 1333 kingston ram
WD Blue 500GB (previously using WD green 1TB, which having too many bad sector somehow)
Gigabyte HD5850
Gigabyte P55A-UD4P (updated to bios f14 from official website)
FSP 80 PLUS 800W
Samsung write master DVD burner (IDE)
I'm now using a LiteOn DVD/CD burner combo drive when i encounter read cd/dvd reboot issue.
