Error installing Windows 7 build 6469

Post by PhantomOcean3 »

Hello, I got the ISO of build 6469, for some reason it crashes with the 0x0000007E BSOD when I boot off the ISO. I tried an upgrade and clean install from within Vista and it would reboot and BSOD with 0x7E. The BIOS date is 3 October 2007 as it should be...

Can you provide more info? Are you using a virtualizer or are you attempting to install the build on real hardware? If you are using a virtualizer, which one and what settings are you using? If this is on real hardware, what are the specs?
Also known as Cvolton elsewhere...

More info:
I am using VMware 15.5.1 with the regular compatibility.
4 GB RAM allocated (this is the x86 build)
2 CPU cores given
40 GB virtual SCSI HDD (CD/DVD drive is SATA)
Any more info needed?

Try an older version of VMware Workstation e.g. ver. 8.0.2 build-591240. BSOD 7E is probably related to the graphics card. I had this error on real hardware but it was OK in VMware 8: BSOD 7E

So I tried to install using VMware 10, it got stuck at Installing Features. I'll try 15.5.1 this time but with 8.x compatibility. So far no 0x7E.

It doesn't freeze on it. It just takes a few minutes.
