Re : Advices to upgrade a computer needed !

@samoz : it's talking about UEFI thingz when I want to format as FAT32, when it's often guided.
Maybe I would be luckier with my new stuff : this evening, I'll have a DVD writer, a multi-card reader and my watercooling system !!!
I'll be able to built my new computer, with my current RAM (4Go 666MHz !!!) ..... Maybe booting from a DVD ....

@waxxzer : same price waxxzer ! But you are closer to the european entrance port for asian thingz !!!...
My 88€ parcel wasn't opened yet !....
 
Re : Advices to upgrade a computer needed !

I guess my current MB is too old with his BIOS last updated in 2011.
I can't see any UEFI or legacy BIOS or Secure Boot things inside. It requires a .exe file and can't boot from a .efi file.

Tomorrow, I will receive my RAM and could built my new computer with my current HDDs.
I guess the first thing to do is to install the last MB and GPU drivers...
 
Re : Advices to upgrade a computer needed !

Almost !
My new set-up is built but Win 7 is crashing on starting (just before forming the Win logo).
I guess it's something wrong with the new stuff but I don't know how to solve it now.
And my Win 8 copy isn't working also, always saying the File:windows\system32\Boot\winloader.exe is missing ...

My RAM seems to run at 1600MHz whereas they are 2133MHz !...

I'm going to build my daughter's computer (my ex-one that will still be mine !...) with only the 500GB HDD, where Win 7 is installed.
And I'm going to look for a Win 8 copy (my neighbour.... I don't like him !...) !....

Re : Advices to upgrade a computer needed !

Thank you samoz : it seems to be very helpful for me !
But now, my Win 8 installer is running since I prepare my USB drive with the laptop of my wife where an OEM Win 8 is running.
But none of my drives are GPT and Win 8 can't be installed !...

No valid WIN-code waxxzer, and obviously, to upgrade because I am the manufacturer !

And my daughter's computer (my former one) with the HDD where is installed Win 7 I was using till yesterday, is not running anymore !
No valid boot drive or something like that !

2 PC and none are running ! I guess I won't play tonight !...

---UPDATE---
I think I'm on the right way to succeed with the Windows Component Prompt.
But "clean all" is very long !...

---UPDATE 2---
1. Win 8 is running on my new computer !!!
2. I have a RAM off (bought last june on www.atelco.de) ...
3. I have set the wrong HDD (the one without OS) in my daughter's computer ...

F@ck ! No luck or I don't know what ! My system is down !
The RAM was finally OK after plugging better the 'abnormal' one.
And, yesterday, I was installing drivers or trying to because there are so many sources and available files (Asus, Intel, ...).
I tried games : first, MotoGP14 and then, Battlefields, freshly installed with waxxzer's method !
First try, I had a bad ping, starting to 40 and going over 1000 !
I've installed the Intel® 82579V Gigabit LAN Controller driver and my ping was back to normal.
I could play a complete round and suddenly, while playing the next round, I get the blue screen.
I thought my system has crashed and was restarting but it wasn't.
So I've pressed "Reset" and the system has normally started and I could play BF3 again a few time with chriskrass before the next blue screen.

The red VGA led is lighted on the MB. (and now the BOOT led too !)
I've unplugged and replugged the GPU (that is plugged with HDMI cord to the monitor)
I've erased the RTC RAM but still off.

I'm going to try with my former GPU...
 
Re : Advices to upgrade a computer needed !

So, it's still not working on the other PCIe slot and with the DVI cord.
But it's working with my former GPU.

So the Asus GTX 770 2GB seems already dead !...
 
Re : Advices to upgrade a computer needed !

Laka, of course I've plugged 2 power cables ! There are nice red or green leds to tell you what to do !!!...
Here is my stuff :
IMG 20141004 105529 003

As you can see, my PSU is the Corsair HX750W 80+ Silver.
And the system has worked for almost 1 day !...

Oops samoz, I've just edited because all drivers are installed now !

But I can't revive the GTX 770 ... :(
 
Re : Advices to upgrade a computer needed !

Damn ! The GTX 770 has run for 5 minutes this morning !
I've written to Asus yesterday and hope they can repair the card for cheap !
But no news from the seller though he helped me with my breakdown car on the selling day ...
 
Re : Advices to upgrade a computer needed !

Damn #2 ! My GTX 770 is running now ! But how many times !!!???....
What is still not working is the memory cards reader : 2 USB connectors to plug in the MB and a 1394 connector I can't plug. No drivers, such as the DVD R/W ...
Why so many aversion !!!???...
 
Re : Advices to upgrade a computer needed !

Not so stupid this time !
1 is being installed right now but it seems to concern Office ...
I didn't installed the Nvidia drivers on saturday (so many things to installed at the same time ! The first dowloaded was the first installed !...). I could have a display but I don't understand why it stoppped to work suddenly.
Now it seems to be good but I still wait for uninstalling AMD drivers !....
So expensive MB and no VGA plug !!!....

Try slim drivers to find them for you
 
Re : Advices to upgrade a computer needed !

Ok, I'll try it...
But my GPU has crashed again after 3 hours using !...
Asus's answer : only repairing guaranted products. I have to deal with a seller...
