win 7 boot issues

[Zargon]

really starting to piss me off

cant even get to safe mode

wont boot to windows setup for some reason

status : 0x000000e

boot selection failed because a required device is innaccesible


I cant even get to windows setup off the 7 pro disc.

I assume my disk was hosed, burnt a new one from an ISO and still wont get into windows setup

swapped rama stick at a time, put in old ram I replaced last week(upgraded to 1033 from 800)

i was running a pretty mild OC, 3 ghz at just over stock volts with no wierd temp issues

obviously downclocked now, and was when this started

Try using another DVD Drive

 

[Zargon]

not a bad idea

odd to have a hdd error and a dvd drive go at the same time, but I have a spare and its worth a shot!

ran a scandisk from another machine, no errors, found

new dvd drive

still no boot

locks up loading windows and windows setup

fixin to RMA this motherboard it seems like

 

[Zargon]

safe mode for setup and windows is locking up at \win\sys32\drivers\disk.sys

im going to toss in a blank hdd and see if I can get setup to load that way

 

[Zargon]

different HDD, no dice.

Ill yank my 4850x2 as well I guess

 

[Zargon]

ugh still nada.

emailed ECS support

not to be rude or anything but ECS! you could use a new mobo anyway heheh.. I only use DFI personally as even ASUS has poor QC and have seen 100 diff dead asus mobo. You try to load a diff os?
You upgraded your ram and downclocked everything (so is it stock)? you try resetting your cmos? try just one stick of ram and installing?

 

[Zargon]

ha yeah, the black had some good reviews and most of the options I was looking for

cleared cmos

set to default inside bios as well

tried 4 diff ram sticks in all the diff slots

no reply from ECS yet after 24 hours
