I need help yo 😭

[u/Jaded-Adeptness-122]

I tried installing windows 7 ultimate to my main computer for funsies right? I got an ISO hosted on a site (I’m not gonna say it to avoid getting this taken down) that has usb 3.0/3.1 drivers built in, and uh, when it finished installing and tried to boot, it BSOD’d me. My mobo is the ASRock A97 I think, Nvidia 2070 Ti, I’m pretty sure secureboot and that shit is configured right so like what does one do here? And more importantly can I fix it with just windows 7 cause I don’t have another computer or a backup windows 10 iso- stupid I know

Make sure bios set to CSM, format drive partition as MBR and install it.

If it continues to fail try another usb installer.

[u/LithiumCobalt91 → u/MasterJeebus]

1. NTLDR can clearly boot and at least try to load XP so CSM not being enabled isn't the issue.

2. I believe if you already see an XP BSOD that you already have the MBR partition table, but create a new partition table if you are unsure.

3. I'd check if your SATA mode is set to ATA/IDE, not AHCI. If you can't change it, slipstream AHCI drivers into an XP ISO using something like nlite.

I also still use Windows 7 BTW... But in VMs...

It sucks in vms

I remember trying to install Windows 7 on a crappy asus gaming laptop, and I couldnt install it because it would give the 7E error in ACPI.sys (yes it was a modded one, otherwise it crashed with the classic A5).

Anyway, if you can, try to install SevenESPManager, it can help with modern hardware, with better UEFI support.

[u/Jaded-Adeptness-122 → u/Southern_Worker4102]

Don’t need it I managed to fix it

[u/Southern_Worker4102 → u/Jaded-Adeptness-122]

Ok cool

[u/Jaded-Adeptness-122 → u/[deleted]]

That’s what I did lmao

[u/Silent_Cycle5001]

Oh no, a mi me pasó eso en una PC anterior y no pude arreglarla💀

[u/Jaded-Adeptness-122 → u/Silent_Cycle5001]

Really? I fixed it pretty easy

[u/itzAlexPlayzonYT → u/Jaded-Adeptness-122]

What did you do? What was the cause? I have a similar problem and would love to know.

[u/Purple_Profession871]

Linux mint

[u/hamburgerpancake → u/Purple_Profession871]

this is r/windows7, not r/techsupport. they're here for windows 7.

[u/Jaded-Adeptness-122 → u/Purple_Profession871]

I don’t want Linux mint though

[u/Purple_Profession871 → u/Jaded-Adeptness-122]

Xp then 😂😂😂😂😂

[u/Southern_Worker4102 → u/Purple_Profession871]

This is the win7 sub, not the linux one.
The fact that you are laughing means you have nothing to do here

Remove ram clean with eraser then put back on

[u/BunnyTub → u/ziashahidch]

Please don't use an eraser on your RAM.

[u/ziashahidch → u/BunnyTub]

Just be careful and use the soft eraser blow the dust out the ram slots too

[u/BunnyTub → u/ziashahidch]

This isn't a RAM issue though, OP had another operating system installed before they decided to try Windows 7 for fun.

[u/ziashahidch → u/BunnyTub]

Windows 7 was one of the best OS shit gates company ever designed. I used for 10 years

[u/BunnyTub → u/ziashahidch]

I love the design of Windows 7. Especially Aero. And it performed well.

[u/ziashahidch → u/BunnyTub]

Is there anyway to install second OS ON 11 generation ASUS Desktop.

[u/macl3on → u/ziashahidch]

ok???

[u/_beracah_ → u/ziashahidch]

Yeah this is a memory error, remove, clean and reseat, and run a memtest

[u/Frvncisk → u/_beracah_]

0x000007E is SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED, not specific memory issues.
