i have know idea what the relevance of the previous comment was...This isnt a customers computer it is my spare

no relevance
How far have you got.

No real relevance, other than the fact that someone's walking you through literally every step of repair. Like I said....Awesome. Carry on.

 

[fixitdaz]

I will take it by no response you are all up and running

 

[tech_24]

I have ran reg cleaner, multiple memtests, check both drive and ram in multiple machines...everytime windows tries to install it keeps popping the same error 0x80070570 cannot install required files...tried 3 different install disks (all of which work in other machines fine)...I use regcure normally do you recommend something else...as of now i cannot get into windows and windows will not install

Unless i was mistaken, this forum is called tech-to-tech computer help and is to get assistance when everything you have tried has failed. I have done memtests, drive health, multiple swapping of hardware, etc. Was looking for some additional assistance on this issue...I have done everything that would normally be done and had thoughts on bad mobo just wanted to get suggestions before i replace mobo

so have we solved the first error
you now have a registry problem what did you use for the reg clean

 

[tech_24]

History of the situation:
1) random bsod's (Assuming driver or mem errors i ran memtest over night and installed updated drivers from manufacturers website...memtest showed no errors and ran regcure)
2) Different bsod's kept showing up (ran test on hdd and came out clean)
3) System would randomly boot to startup repair and would not boot
4) Ran chkdsk /f/r and found errors that could not be fixed same result with sfc
5) Tried ram and hdd in diff machine and worked
6) tried ram and hdd from diff machine in this machine and encountered the same issues
7) bsod's have been random .sys files and they were still occuring until now can boot windows again
8) installation fails cuz cant install specific components
9) Running killdisk to completely wipe disk and retry installation

so have you given up, I do not understand, you said Got a win32k.sys bsod this time I said you need to run a reg cleaner. Did you run a reg program and clean /repair your reg I am getting the impression you are new to this and you need to work on your fault finding and repair skills. and I am not convinced you are who you said you are you are not consistent,I think I was correct with my thoughts last time.

Randomly trying different things to fix the problem is probably one of the worst ways to diagnose a computer. Trying using logic and knowledge of how a computer functions to figure it out.

BSOD means a memory dump. By software's nature, random errors aren't common. Even so, by reformatting the machine and updating the drivers, reoccurring random errors are not going to be software related (Unless your installation source is bad, but not likely). Random errors usually mean hardware issues, especially with memory. Memory is allocated dynamically, that is, a variable in a program doesn't always get assigned the same address in memory. Thus, when random memory errors occur, the most likely suspect is bad memory. By ruling that out, we look at the system that maintains/manages memory, I.E the northbridge, CPU and associated circuits. CPUs rarely fail, and when they do, don't work intermittently. That leaves us with the northbridge and related circuits. Unless you are good with component repair, that means a replacement motherboard for you.

I see your problem.

Never ever use Windows update to take care of your drivers. It will cause all sorts of mayhem.
Seriously, I have seen plenty of modems and audio cards that stop working after getting screwed over by a Microsoft driver.

I would update your chipset drivers, NIC, audio and graphics card drivers from either the mobo manufacturer and ATI website.

I don't update video drivers with win update but I have never had problems with any other drivers before. Win update is getting pretty good at using mostly manufacturers drivers.

Biostar H55A+ MOBO w/ 4x DDR3 slots 16GB Max, 6 Sata ports, 2 PCIe x16, 1

Theres your problem. Why would you use a sh!t motherboard?

 

[tech_24]

no i havent given up...the memory is good (tested in multiple machines), I had a 90% impression it was the motherboard...I have run reg cleaner as i stated in my previous post...i tried the hdd testing because someone had recommended to do so...just thought there might be some areas i may have missed and figured i would post issue on the forum to see what others thought...There are always issues that stump us from time to time and this was one for me...That is why i originally asked if anyone knew of a good mobo tester because all the other options had been ruled out

As i stated this is a cheap backup machine that i really never used much til now...Didnt want to put much money into it because i wasnt going to use it much...Used mainly random parts i had lying around (minus the ram) to build the machine...I agree that biostar is very poor, which is y i would never purchase any of their product...I am an MSI resller so i tend to stick with them, also a fan of Asus boards...but again didnt purchase the board and had it lying around so figured i'd use it

 

[tech_24]

So Fixdat is there a different reg cleaner you would recommend other then regcure which is what i am currently using?

 

[tech_24]

And i never just did random troubleshooting I am aware what a bsod means which is y i tried to eliminate the hardware (ie running tests on the components and trying in different machines) as i am aware that they are commonly caused by faulty hardware, bad drivers, and memory. So i was able to rule out hdd, mem, vid card and stated in original post that it was more than likely a mobo issue because of eliminating the hardware as the cause. Again just wanted to see if there was anything i was missing which is y i posted in forums...I do appreciate the insight and now re-assurance of the mobo as being the issue...Thanks guys...I am also working on a pretty detailed post for the automation forums for my one touch pc-tuenup script and my multi-windows auto backup script...Thanks again

I thought you have n&p the system

 

[tech_24]

What do you mean by N&P

8) installation fails cuz cant install specific components
9) Running killdisk to completely wipe disk and retry installation

so did you format it reinstall as you said last night

 

[tech_24]

I did but installation says windows could not configure one or more system components at around 99% of finilizing...went into shift+F10 to bring up the console, then proceed to run "system32\oobe\msoobe.exe" to finalize the setup procedure. Doesnt appear to be working though

 

[fixitdaz]

what types of windows 7 discs are you installing from oem, retail, download, copy
