Windows 7 BSOD during install

lrfp · Jul 9, 2011

Hi,
I am trying to install Windoes 7 Home Premium. Win7 is an original OEM version bought together with hardware. Before I used Vista, and after that Ubuntu Linux. Everything worked fine. Then I decided to try Win 7 on my laptop. My laptop is a Toshiba U300-159.

Problem is that at the end of installation, after I have entered product key and press next the computer hangs and after a short time I get a BSOD with error code f4.

I have checked both RAM, processor and harddisk. Everything is ok acording to test results. Furthermore I have tryed to reinstall Ubuntu Linux and it works perfectly. But I bought win7 because I want to use this. Any ideas on how i get to install win7?

Thanks in advance

OEM software versions have special pre-install procedures, I believe. Although I have not done an install like that, there should be some instructions.

If problem continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable bios memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup options, and then select Safe Mode.

Technical infomation:

*** STOP: 0x000000F4 (0x00000000000000003, 0xFFFFFA8002C8FB30, 0xFFFFFA8002C8
0xFFFFF80002B8D240)

Collecting data for chrash dump...
Initializing disk for chrash dump...
Beginning dump of physical memory.
Dumping of physical memory to disk: 100 %"

After this the computer restarts automatically.
There is no new hardware installed to remove. No new software since this is a clean new installation of windows 7.
It is not possible to boot in safe mode. The computer wouldnt let me because windows 7 hasnt installed windows properly yet. It just start the installation process over again :-(

Any ideas on how to proceed?
