For me, the problem turned out to the memory. The memory would work for a while and then after a time corruption would happen. It was a difficult problem as I ran the memory tests from memtest.org and they would all pass the first time. But, if I waited for a second pass, then the...

As I said, the problem occurred with the new motherboard using the old memory. And yet, when I installed two new DIMMs of the same speed and type the problem didn't occur. The BIOS settings on the new motherboard were driving the RAM with the correct voltage. Thanks anyway :)

Changed the motherboard, put in the old RAM as 4GB (2x 2GB) and guess what, it failed the advanced memory test in the first 2GB. Put in two new DIMMs of exactly the same memory in the new motherboard and the advanced memory test passed on all 4GB. Windows 7 now installed - no problem. Because...

Another good point, but the memory is detected automatically by the motherboard. The RAM is 1.5V, so it can't go much lower ;) I have another machine with the same motherboard and memory which is working perfectly. I'm replacing the motherboard, will post the outcome of that....

Yes, I've got two copies of Windows 7 which I purchased, I've used both DVDs. I did get Ubuntu linux to install on a 250GB harddisk. In that it could see the 2 x 2TB hard disks and format them. Although the memory tests (see memtest.org) pass when I test each 2GB DIMM seperately in the board...

Thanks for the feedback - it looks like the motherboard is shot. I ran a memory test on each of the 2GB DIMMs independently (in the motherboard) and the tests from the program @ memtest.org pass. I then put both 2GB DIMMs back in the board (total = 4GB) and the memory test fails at 1065MB...

I removed 2GB of the 4GB or RAM and tested each 2GB memory module independently using the advanced memory test from memtest.org - both modules passed the test. However, when using the memory test with the 2GB modules together in the motherboard (2 x 2GB = 4GB), the memory test fails...

I tried generating my own AutoUnattend.xml file based on the XML given in this thread and Windows 7 just said it was invalid. There must be an AutoUnattend file generator somewhere? As editting your own XML using textpad seems very complicated.

I've also tried different SATA ports and RAID controllers - I used the Marvell 9128 SATA Controller instead of the AMD SB710 SATA Controller - same problem occurs. In safe mode, right after disk.sys is displayed - which means it is most likely the next driver loaded - what ever that is...

You don't need to create an AutoUnattend.xml file, as you can load the RAID drivers using the "Load Drivers" option when Windows asks you which partition you want to install on. I installed the correct drivers for the RAID and still have the same freeze after disk.sys was displayed when...

yes good point. I'm already on the latest version - F3.

I built a machine using the following components: Gigabyte GV-N98TSL-1GB Fanless 9800GT 1GB GDDR3 PCI-E Gigabyte GA-770TA-UD3 (rev 1.0) Processor: AMD K2 2800MHz Corsair: 2 x 2GB 1066MHz DDR3 HDD: Seagate 2 x 2TB ST32000542AS Memory has been testing using program from memtest.org. Hello, I'm...
