I did update the bios and the intel ssd firmware
while trying to install from a windows 7 home premium dvd(original) with sp1
i was getting stuck at starting windows, before the logo start.
i tried with a valid windows 7 home premium DVD without sp1
and I was able to install, put driver in, do the whole windows update.
now from cold start, i'm randomly getting hang at the same place.
"Starting windows", before the logo start.
I have to press reset or do hard shutdown then i get the usual windows didn't start properly, repair or normal windows start.
repair does not work but allow me to start, same with normal windows start
once i was able to see what happen with os boot information
from msconfig
it hang at loading \windows\system32\config
it never load a driver
the C: is the ssd so i did a chksdk on it no issue found, i also ran the basic test from the intel toolbox, no issue found
i wont have access to this computer for a few days and i did search online for solution so next time i will be sitting in front of that computer i will try:
uninstalling the intel RST (something tell me this is it)
remove battery, reset bios, etc
unplug the dvd and harddrive
play with cable to make sure everything is fine
change the sata port of the ssd
check psu voltage in bios / monitoring application
should i do anything else?
