Solve : Does installing Windows 7 interfere with the motherboard bios settings? |
|
Answer» HI. I'm just wondering if Windows 7 has altered my MOTHERBOARD's bios? I'm asking this because I have a Asus P5e3 WS Pro motherboard, which can only support Windows operating system up to Vista. I didn't know this when I INSTALLED Windows 7 onto it. Fed up with getting the blue screen error, when trying to reinstall Windows XP on it again, I zero WIPED the drives, and reformatted them again. But even so I'm still getting the same blue error screen when I attempt to reinstall Windows XP again. So I'm wondering if when I installed Windows 7, that it wrote something to the motherboard's bios to prevent any future system downgrading.An OS cannot and will not write/change anything in the BIOS... I run Win7 on a P5 ASUS MBoard with zero issues...Vista on the 2nd HDD. Post the entire BSOD including the gibberish... Did you happen to make any changes to the BIOS ? ?Not sure where that info came from...all the documentation i read mentions nothing about it not being ABLE to run Win7. It would be silly for a MBoard manuf to limit the board to OS's. |
