I have bought new Intel DG43NB . I am unable to run windows 7 on this . It completes the installation process. Then it shows windows is finalising your computer . Than it restarts and get stuck ( hangs ). I have tried 1) resetting CMOS 2) repartition the hard disk 3) updated the BIOS 4) have tried to install both version of windows 7 ( x86 & x64) 5) resetting the video adapter value in bios 6) have tried using different DVDs......but nothing is working ....so after struggling alot i have now installed xp....but this is very frustrating for me because earlier I had asus P5B-VM mother board ..and windows 7 was working fine .....Please help me to solve this ....
may i ask why you switched boards if everything was fine on the asus ?
I wanted to upgrade it ...there is no specific reason behind this....
at what point of the boot does it hang?
It restarts ..reads hardware and all...if there is a bootable DVD it boots from that and if i dont press any key and let it boot from Hard Disk ..than it gets hang....
1) load the bios-defaults
2) try to install it with only one parition created using the entire disk. the installer will make 2 of your 1 partition to place bootfiles, so don't be confused.
i am too facing similar problem with DG43NB+q9400+Win7. i think there is some serious compatibility issues with DG43NB & win7. don't know what to do?
I HAVE TRIED THAT....BUT IT DOESNT WORK DEAR.....
Hi,
When the system hangs is there any POST code error, or anything on the screen?
nop...it doesn't show any error ..it just doesnt respond
I ran into the same problems with my attempts to install Win7. Eventually I got it install by putting in a separate video card (PCIe). After completing the initial install and updating (video) drivers, I was able to take the separate card out and I have been using the onboard DVI no without issues.
No problems here!
I have a DG43NB and a q9400 (using onboard video). I procrastinated Win 7 for over 6 months because of this thread. But, after someone gave me WIn 7 update, I took a chance.
No problems going from Visa 64 to Win 7 64. I assume other peoples problems are unique to their setups.
