Answer» i recently came in for help on getting the PC started because nothing was showing up on the monitor. so we bought a new motherboard (same one) and everything works now. but when we tried booting up Vista it would get the stop error message : 0x0000007E
so i researched how to fix this and what we got was that we needed to take out some of the ram. we did take out 2 GB's and and it is installing right now. what do i need to do after we install vista to get the 4gb ram to start working.lol WOW so another error message came up in the middle of installing vista....freaking greeeeaaat. i dont know but I almost feel like giving up. this computer has been a pain to install and the error messages and such dont stop coming. it's pretty ridiculous because everything is installed and working and in the right places.you might want to test your RAM. download memtest86 and create a bootable CD. We have absolutely no idea what hardware is involved here so guessing that Vista is the culprit would be a reach at this point...ok, so i eventually got vista to install but it took a few days. Now it's constantly having problems including the internet explorer stop working and closing out, slight delays, restarting on its own with blue screen of death (shows its dumping PHYSICAL memory) and just other things like ----
i only saw one error code long enough to write it down-- 0x800106ba
dxdiag error
not installing motherboard disc and other installation discs completely
drivers for sound and video card being deleted a little while after installing....
not allowing to get updates for windows vista
security turning off on its own
some points pictures were showing up all messed up or completely black
processor isn't showing up on dxdiag but also has the dxdiag error
as far as my specs go----
intel core quad 2.4 ghz Q6600
8800 gts 640mb graphics card
2gb of ram currently (wasn't working with 4gb to install vista)
ASUS p5n32 sli deluxe motherboard
1000 watt coolmax psu
antec 900 hundred case
160gb HDD
this computer has been realy irritating as far as getting it installed and stuff. now that we got it installed there's even more problems with not being able to run programs/cd's and download updates for vista and just exiting out of internet explorer along with those *censored* RESTARTS.
we are THINKING about hiring a professional to help fix this computer but even we think they won't be able to figure it out. i was wondering if anyone knew what we should do. should we reinstall the whole computer from the very beginning? or reinstall the OS again? i really need help guys...thanks in advance. im depressed.also windows defender isn't working and java won't update (error messages) and it seems as if the video card isn't installing the driver....Did you install the mother board drivers?i was trying to but i couldn't find what exactly they were called on the website. i tried different things but everytime i downloaded something it would come out in a bunch of files and none of them had setup or install. anyway, the cd for the motherboard doesn't work on the computer...Quote the cd for the motherboard doesn't work on the computer...
I'd be returning that board or trying that CD on another machine...
You might want to swap in another optical drive as well as that could be why all these issues have ocurred.
ASUS boards are especially finiky with the order drivers are installed...and the MBoard drivers should always go first before anything else.i dont think it's the motherboard but it might be. the first time we built it, the first case we had had an LED screen and my dad was messing with it on start up and it shot the motherboard. we bought another one and everything started up fine but then we started getting errors when it was scanning the disks. we've had trouble installing the OS's. tried both XP and vista and both weren't installing completely. eventually we got it and nothing is going right. nothing is installing right and drivers are getting lost and i have no clue how to install the motherboard drivers...If neither XP or Vista are installing properly it's either the board itself; a hard drive ISSUE or the optical drive may be having issues.
It actually could be one of many things at this point but these 3 would be my main suspects based on the info so far.alright, so could we try switching hdd's with our only current working PC? No.
A Vista or XP installed HDD cannot simply be swapped from one machine to the next and boot properly...
This is by design.
Switch the optical drive instead and try the Vista install...this will at least narrow things down a bit.oh duh, i shoulda known that. anyway, my dad talked to some computer technician guy today and he told him the problems and he said it could be the hard drive malfunction. my dad is switching out the cables and probably getting a new HDD too. hopefully this will solve it.
