I have run Windows 7 on my Sony Z laptop since early beta versions and I have never had a single problem, especially BSOD. Microsoft recently released the final RTM on TechNet, so I decided now is a good time to test it out!
This is where it gets problematic; I am getting so many different errors, like
stop 0x0000000a
stop 0×00000019
BSOD BAD_POOL_HEADER
that’s the ones I remember, So what the hell is going on here? How could windows reject my computer so badly and so randomly? I have been able to get into safe mode only a couple of times and I have reinstalled Win7 about 10 times, Trying different combinations of RAM and Wi-Fi switch states etc.
This is a work in progress but I feel it has to be either the SSD or the WIFI. but being a laptop (Sony) its hard for me to disable/enable hardware before windows has even begun.
I will update..
Update:
I am doing a long extra extended wipe of the SSD, I am probably killing it but why not!
I used a Linux boot cd (Ubuntu server)
got to a shell and ran
dd if=/dev/zero of=dev/sda
so
dd (copy) if(source)/dev/zero (zeros) if(destination)=/dev/sda(SSD DRIVE)
also I am going to install from USB Key THIS ONE and not DVD..
Well that worked?
What was different form last time?
- I formatted the SSD (long)
- I Installed from USB Key
- I installed with the LAN Cable in
- I had the wireless switch off.
So far so good..
