GIGABYTE GA-H6M-D2H
INTEL PENTIUM G620 @ 2.60GHz
G.SKILL RIPJAWSX 2GB
CORSAIR CX420 V2
WD 500GB BLUE
CM 431 CASE

Here's the problem---
Changed IDE to ACHI in BIOS
Installed Windows 7 Ultimate 32 Bit (through USB)
popped in the GIGABYTE Driver CD, Choosed express install
Restart
PC STUCK AT WINDOWS STARTING LOGO :cry:

DID:
-Reformat
-System restore (worked)
-Safe mode

-Reformat
-popped in the GIGABYTE Driver CD, Choosed custom install and installed individually
-Restart
-PC STUCK AT WINDOWS STARTING LOGO
-FOUND Graphics Driver causing the problem

went to safemode and uninstalled the driver.
system boots fine.

DID
-Installed drivers through CD FAILED
-Intel Website FAILED
-Intel Website's older driver FAILED
-Device Manager driver install FAILED
-Windows update to SP1 and installed FAILED
-Windows update Intel Graphics driver FAILED
-Tried tweaking Windows's MSconfig utlity FAILED
- Searched google ALL DAY FAILED
Device manager shows after uninstalling driver "STANDARD VGA GRAPHICS ADAPTER" BUT THIS MOBO HAS HDMI,DVI AND VGA
I USE VGA :cry:

please help me fast

I assembled this PC 1 day back

reformatted 5 times and tried, system restarted about 10 times and safe mode about 20+ times but this problem is driving me mad :cry:

Disable AHCI mode in Bios - use IDE mode.

Reformat once more. Install Win 7 ( and if possible SP1 ) - Download latest chipset and graphics driver from intel website and install them. Install Audio and any other required driver like network, Directx etc.

i did install sp1 through windows update.
Tired drivers from gigabyte CD, website and Intel'a website and older versions
Installed directx....but there's no relationship between ACHI AND IDE with graphics no?
Once I go to safe mode and uninstall from device manage, it boots normally.
Thanks.

Forget Gigabyte CD. DO NOT INSTALL ANYTHING from it.

Goto Easily explore your PC

And select RUN DETECTION. [ use internet explorer , also it takes time for the activeX to install and RUN ]

Download drivers suggested by the scan result.

DONE !!

1. Dude, which Windows 7 Ultimate you have installed ? 64bit or 32bit ?

2. Also you should follow the following steps to install the drivers:

Step 1 : Re-Format and clean instal windows 7.

Step 2 : Goto Windows Update [ online ] and scan for new updates, install all important updates first.

Step 3: Windows Update should automatically list SP1 as a required update, [if you have SP1 in CD, install it at this stage from CD itself instead of downloading it from Windows Update.

Step 4: Goto this link Also re-check 64bit or 32bit and select accordingly.

Step 5: Install Chipset Drivers first "Intel INF installation" and don't instal "Intel Management Engine Interface" and Restart the PC.

Step 6: Install the VGA drivers and Restart.

Step 7: It should work,

Report Back.

Its 32bit, yep
Will try and report back btw what is this "Intel Management Engine Interface"
should I install the drivers of vga and chipset from CD or GIGABYTE's website

IN BIOS shold i set EFI CD/DVD Boot Option to EFI, NON-EFI OR AUTO

^Doesn't matters.

Set it to AUTO.

Install the drivers from Gigabyte site [asia link]

Note : Install only INF files [ chipset ] and the VGA 32bit Windows 7 drivers from the website.

Now should I replace the board or the processor (or both) with flipkart(cauz i buyed from flipkart)

Any help will be greatly appreciated

make sure you have the latest bios version for the mobo and connect the monitor on VGA port and post feedback and if possible checfk your ram modules using memtest86+ app.

M

Reset BIOS then do fresh install WIN7

yep F4 version and using vga.... tried memtest and diffterent modules...

asked flipkart for a replacement...btw how much time they take they said they will call me in 24 hrs....(called today)
actually the cpu fan is also not spinning properly sometimes so I however should get a replacement no? thats y I said CPU for replacement and explained
asked cpu for replacement...should I have asked for a mobo replacement also??

Minion said:

did it manay times pal

tired of it... asked for a replacement from flipkart (CPU)..

^^ Did you try the DVI/HDMI connectors also - they are having the same issue ? But as the gfx core is built into the cpu it's most probably a cpu issue so wait for them to pick it up for replacement first.

Yes , I tried HDMI but didn't work. called then and said to them that I received a defective CPU,they said they will contact me within 24hrs! I think I should remains them again

Also get the momo replaced dude.

BTW, can you post a screenshot of the device manager ?

device manager just shows genric vga driver-no drivers installed
after installation, befeore reoot shows intel hd graphics family. aftwer reboot black screen after starting wndows...

I'll try replacing the cpu if it wont work then ill go for mobo....
got call from them "we have contacted intel and waiting for update"

A

LOL why are you replacing the CPU? The graphics adapter lies on the motherboard.. CPU has nothing to with it.. it seems that the CPU is fine.. replace the mobo only..

actually, the graphics is INTEGRATED in the sandy bridge CPU's....
and thats what intel told me and any how I have a problem with the CPU FAN also...after booting it does not spin... it turns for 1 sec and off and on and off this goes on for so much time and then it starts...

A

oh okay.. i was reading your signature.. athlon x2 is mentioned there.. sorry for that..

Thats the pc in my house....I used flipkart to build a new pc for my office

I've faced similar issue ( not with Intel SB cpu though ) and the only solution was to use a discrete gfx card.

So, the problem actually is with the mobo.. :wink:

And OP should get the mobo replaced.

The VGA drivers are for the mobo and not CPU :-D

, which is not working in OP's case.

^^ there may be some issue with the mobo but on SB/IB cpus the gfx core is built into the cpu itself so most of chances are the gpu core of the cpu is malfunctioning.

Replaced CPU
STILL no Solution
requested mobo replacement :cry:

flipkart said technocal team will verify problem on monday and report me
is flipkart cs offline on sunday?
