Ongoing Fun setting up a new client (1 Viewer)

[breese]

I'm thinking strongly about formatting the drive and starting over on it, fresh

From what I have seen in the event logs, that might be a real good idea.
Food for thought...
If you know the current drivers for that system are correct, save them off someplace. Maybe a USB thumb drive?
I always install the net drivers (if MS does not see it) and then go directly into MS updates.. They take forever...
I also reconfig Drive Cleanup

command prompt
cleanmgr.exe /sageset:11
Choose Everything
Close it
Locate the disk cleanup in the start menu and make a shortcut to your desktop
Get properties on it and change the target to end with
cleanmgr.exe /sagerun:11
Apply and close
Now run it. Everything you picked from the sageset:11 will run... temp folders, update folders, all kinds of crap.
Once Updates and cleanmgr is done.. defrag...
I do this for every machine I build

........ new beginning .....

WHAT the HELL is all this user account CRAP !!!!!! Don't need all these notifications that I'm gonna run a program that I'm gonna run anyway.

Damn annoying!

Don't have to deal with it on my other 2 Win7 installs ... why this one????

No BSODs (so far) since doing a clean install of Win7 on a clean formatted disk last night. Current video drivers downloaded and installed (Bios and other chip drivers are current)

installed up-to-date VLC, IrfranView, AnyDVD and OHM.

Now doing a clean install of MP 1.5 (that's the one that's running on my other systems, still)

After I install my extentions, I will copy the various settings xmls, and db and thumbs folders from my other Client.

ya, figured that, done already.

Before I install any extra extensions, I'm running a Live TV test ... see how long it will run without crapping out.

fans running at target level 6 (bios), fan control running 69% to 78%
case temps running about 48C, cpu temps about 54C
cpu load peaked at19.6%, running about 4.2% to 10%

Did you remember to clear out the Event Viewer's?
Than you will have clean logs to look at for an issue

 

[2BitSculptor]

even on a fresh, clean win7 install?

 

[breese]

Yep... take a look at them... There will be a ton of stuff in there....

oops .... first BSOD ... went by too fast ... while I was looking at the event logs.
