| 806629 | 2009-09-03 10:12:00 | Just put together a pc I want to use for a media centre Asus P5QL-EM Motherboard E7500 Core 2 Duo Apacer PC2-6400 CL5 Ram 500Gig Samsung HD Asus DVD Writer 350 Watt Power supply that came with the case. I want to use W7 on it. It gets half way through the install & then gives me the BSOD telling me that windows has shut down so it doesn't damage the computer. I tried to install Ubuntu 9.04 on it & it installed & works ok, but I don't want that. Just for good measure I tried Fedora 11 & that spat the dummy at the end of installing Anaconda. I tried another HD, no change I tried removing 1 stick of ram, no change Swapped it for the other stick, no change, Tried a different ram slot, no change The ram is good, it was in this computer until a couple of weeks ago. Installed a video card, no change. (the board has on board video) My suspicions are either a dodgy power supply, or a faulty motherboard. Trouble is the power supply is not standard ATX sized.. Although I could externally try a known good one. Any other thoughts?? Funny how Ubuntu installs ok. |

| 806631 | 2009-09-03 10:20:00 | What is the error code and/or file/driver mentioned in the BSOD? I agree with Gary. Most PSUs that come with cases are pretty crap, and 350w is bar mininum for yoru setup. Blam |

| 806632 | 2009-09-03 10:20:00 | Yup get something better than a 350w PSU. Should have brought the case without the PSU. It would have been cheaper. Thats what I do. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 806633 | 2009-09-03 10:52:00 | 350 Watt Power supply that came with the case. What brand is it? If it's a cheap case it's a cheap PSU and likely to be rubbish. Even if replacing it doesn't fix your problem, at least you will have a reliable PSU. What BSOD are you getting? I know you said the RAM is good but have you tried running the Windows Memory Diagnostic from the DVD or Memtest (should be on the Ubuntu CD) |
