    Vista BSOD during CD bootup

    I am trying to install Vista Ultimate x64 on my HTPC, but it keeps crashing. It gets past the point where it says "Windows is loading files", and when the windows logo appears for a couple seconds, it BSOD's and says "Machine Check Exception". This is during the first boot off the CD.

    This is a Gigabyte GA-K8U-939 motherboard with 2GB ram. Any idea what could be going on? It always worked fine with XP MCE 2005.

      Look for an option in the BIOS for "IO APIC" or similar and make sure it is enabled.

      You don't happen to have one of the few 939 semprons that don't support 64 bit?

      Other than that do the usual checks like memtest and prime95. Also try the disk in another machine.

          Turns out it was the SATA for some reason. I installed an IDE drive and it seems to be working fine now.

          This board uses the ULI M1689 chipset, and has an Athlon 64 3700+ installed.

              LG GRAM random bsod SOLVED
              by alambrose
              LG Gram 15Z980 picked up on Ebay for $200 (was sold as parts because no M2 drive and bios pw locked), but otherwise intact and working.

              Threw a 500gb M2 in, and was able to install Windows. On Gram, Win activation is stored in the bios, so Windows was automatically activated. I still kept getting random bsod's. Also bought a pw and unlocked the bios.

              Upgraded Windows to 11, still didn't solve the random & frequent bsod's. Cleaned & reseated all cables, RAM, etc... still getting frequent bsod's. Bought & installed a new stick of RAM, still getting frequent...

              Vostro 14 3468 w BSOD KernelPower aleatory
              by the Benninger
              HI Folks, I have a problem randomly a BSOD screen appears in the event viewer indicates KernelPower failure, discard the source/memory and SSD, only the battery is in bad condition, it will be possible that the battery is causing this BSOD event , I mention it because the times he gave BSOD he happened to have the battery installed, and last Friday it ran all day without the battery installed and didn't generate any events
              At the moment I am checking the mosfets and voltges in general everything seems to be perfect on the main board
