MS-1722 Blue Screen of death

Hi guys,

I just tried installing vista ultimate (not sp1) and it goes through the install, but once it reboots it tries to log on, but i get the blue screen about hardware issues and dumps the physical memory and restarts.

I don't know what to do. I'm not dumb w/computers either.

Xp sort of installs too, but once it seems the install is over, it reverts back to 39min left on install (every time)

I haven't loaded anydrivers of any kind, or even touched my motherboard cd.

I have

ms-1722
120gb sata hdd
4gbs of ram
t9400 2.53ghz
sony optical drive
and that's all

Has anyone seen this issue? I have tried to a different hard drive and ram, but keep getting the same thing.

Thanks in advance,

Elton

 

I also used a t9400. Try disabling AHCI in the bios. I had the same problem the first time I tried to install Vista and that seemed to fix it.

The other thing I did the second time was format my hard drive from the command line instead of using the vista installer.

 

ok, i will try that now. thanks

 

Make sure the t9400 is not an engineering sample.

 

has to be sp1. if you use sp1 it should fix the issue. same thing happens on the ocz whitebooks if you use non sp1 vista

 

My friend's engineering sample t9400 booted just fine. and the problem described is obviously not a cpu error. he will be able to install xp once he disabled ahci in his bios.

Would xp be even "installing" for a while if cpu is bad. Think about it

 

Well I don't have a ES, so that's not the problem. I already formatted through dos and disabled AHCI and still got the same issue. So I'm gonna use vista sp1 next, hopefully that will do it.

I'll let you know. Thanks guys.

 

i had the same issue with the 1651. with sp1 installs straight through

 

Z
is this means that Vista SP1 support this AHCI option of the HDD?

 

sp1 probably already has the proper sata driver in the installation disk where non sp1 does not

 

I have an engineering sample t9400 and would get to Setup is completing on the XP install then reboot. When AHCI was enabled i couldnt even get to the XP install page. I swapped the CPU out with a p8600 from my work laptop. XP installed right away. I ran a CPU burn in test on the t9400 in my work latop and found no error. WTH?

 

I have a retail box P9500 in my 1722 ID2 with AHCI enabled.
Vista U would not even complete an install, make it about 3/4 and hang
Disabled AHCI and Vista installed, but there was a huge vista boot-up lag time, even after installed, all boots would have just a little hard drive access at the beginning of boot, then nothing for nearly 90-120 seconds, then it would finish booting into vista. Again this was with AHCI disabled.

Then enable the AHCI and vista would go bluescreen death during boot and reboot.

Now go into bios, disabled AHCI and reboot again back into bios,your hard drive is shown as a standard non sata ide drive with the pio modes and dma modes
Under sata drives there would be nothing.

This ide section only shows up within the bios once AHCI has been disabled.
This was using an older Toshiba drive.

I just installed a WD sata 2 and installed Win7 without a problem with AHCI enabled...

I am not sure this is a cpu issue, maybe hard drive compatibility of sorts?

 

I have AHCI disabled. I get farther thru the install but it never finishes.

 

Ok, so I just tried sp1 and it wont go through the install at all. When I try to install it, it goes the through the "copying files" part in like 2 seconds then in the 'expanding files' it doesn't go through any % rate and then I get the blue screen.

Maybe it's the vista sp1 disc, or I don't know what. I'm going to try it again w/xp with a dos format 1st, and then a whole new hard drive, and then a new vista sp1 disc.

I hope it's not the cpu, from reading everything, most people don't have problems with t9400, specially since this one has no problems on other laptops.

Oh yeah and I've done it both with AHCI disable and aldo tried it w/it enabled.

 

Try to install with a genuine Microsoft Windows Vista disc and leave AHCI enabled.
BIOS version advised for the barebone model is 1.0S and EC version 4.29.

 

ok i'll also try that.

 

anyone know where i can get a original disc? I have a product key for my laptop i took apart and it's home premium, but i only have the recovery for it.

thanks

 

hard to say at this point. have you checked to make sure everything is seated right? and to make sure everything is working. have you tried with one ram stick? and then swapped for the other etc? a lot of people have been having issues with the cpu's not seating them right and not locking them in right?

 

I also had problems installing vista 64 (non SP1)with my 1722.
I have P9500 and WD black 360bg.

It would install vista 64, then on the first installation reboot it just hangs at windows loading screen. I tried it with MS AHCI drivers and Intel AHCI drivers.

Windows 7 installs perfectly for me with AHCI enabled so I will stick with that for the time being

 

ninja,
I wager if you let it sit for about 90-120 seconds on that vista 64 boot, it would have finished booting. For what ever reason vista (64 non SP1) would hang for an extended period while booting.
I never did try to install SP1 as my new WD drive failed and I went straight to win7, agreed that win7 works great.
