Verifying DMI Pool hang up, attempting to reinstall windows 7 shows "no drivers"

[phizzco]

I was fooling around with overclocking my i7 930 when upon one re-start, my computer got hung up on the post screen with "verifying DMI pool".

I tried running command prompt via the windows 7 disc repair to run Bootrec.exe/fixboot and that gave me an error saying "element not found."

I then tried to reinstall windows, but i got errors saying it could not find any proper drivers. I tried both of the two harddrives I have installed, one of which obviously already has windows installed.

I'm not sure what to do from here. I don't see a way to reformat the hard drive that currently has the errant windows 7 version installed and even if I wanted to, I don't seem to be able to install windows on the 2nd hard drive.

Some details about my system:
Mobo: Gigabyte UDXX (not sure atm, its a few years old)
CPU: I7 930
GPU: nvidia 660 ti PE
Memory: corsair platinum 1333 -- 10gigs

I'm guessing something is wrong with the partitioned drive itself, but I'm totally lost as to what to do.

DMI Pool refers to your ram so you need to set it back to default.
You can't have 10 gb of ram, that's like 5 x 2gb???

So I actually do have 10 gigs of ram 2x4 and 1 x 2 atm.

But I do need to say that I figured out what the issue was. At some point I swapped the hdd that was to load by default from the primary to the secondary ( one that doesnt have windows installed). Once I realized this, I switched it back and now its working fine. My OC works as well. I just need a better cooler.

Only took me 6 and half hours to figure out.....

Thanks much!
