HI,
I have a Dell XPS that was running Vista for about 5 years now. Somethings started acting up and I backed up my data and decided to start fresh.
However, I can't seem to get a new OS installed. I opted for Windows 7 and the installation runs fine until the computer restarts to finish the installation.
After the restart it flashes a BSOD relating to Kernel Inpage Error, or something similar to that. It flashes quickly and my computer restarts. Now that it restarts, I get an error stating that Windows didn't finish the installation and to retry.
I have tried re-installing the copy of Vista that came with the laptop only to have the same BSOD and installation error.
I would post a log or report but I don't have access to anything on the computer right now.
Is this hardware related?
Thanks
EDIT: It happened a third time. KERNAL DATA INPAGE ERROR
STOP 00000007A or something similar
