I'm trying to set up an ITX HTPC but I keep getting blue screens during the Windows install.
It happens after the first reboot when it is on "completing installation". The screen flickers black once (which is normal and I assume something display related is installing) and then moments later it will blue screen. I don't think it's related to the black screen thing, that is just when it happens.
The bluescreen says stop: 0x0000007E and stop HIDCLASS.sys.
I've tried installing from USB (UEFI and old) and from CD. I've tried a different hard drive, RAM, graphics card. I've disabled as much on board stuff as possible. My last resort is a different PSU and case to see i
I've reset the BIOS to defaults and put a fresh battery in. Now I'm stumped. The board was fine about a week ago and now W7 refuses to install on it 🙁
