A doozie: W7 will not verify digital signature of drivers and W7 updates nogo

<< < (2/3) > >>

I have been doing computers since I was 15, I turn 35 this year :-) And the number of times it has happened to be is actually very large lol

But with reasons.

1. I burn a copy of the Windows iso to a cd or dvd depending on which version of Windows. Some drives have trouble reading certain burnable disks. Which is why they have firmware updates for them which allows them to read it better.
2. Bad drives of course.
3. Small scratches or scuffs on the disk that you cant see (Some drives read them fine while others cant) or just some random odd thing with the drive and disk combo.

In fact one time, and only once, I had a cd actually explode in a drive lol. When a cd drive spins up and it is super loud that noise is normally from vibration of the disk spinning. I had a old cd drive that was the loudest I have ever heard. I put in a burned disk that I think had a small amount of warp to it. When that old drive started to spin up the disk, the combo of the crappy vibration the drive causes on its own, plus the small warped cd caused it to vibrate so bad that the cd popped of the track at full spin. Hit so hard in the drive that the disk shattered into hundreds of pieces and had a large sharp chunk sticking out of the cd drive door! And I mean stabbed itself through the door!

Never seen something like that happen before or since, but man was it something to see lol.

Point is that I haven't had a single problem installing Windows off of usb as I did the dvd/cd drives. There was plenty of times where I installed Windows off the cd and something was wrong, using the same drive and disk I would install it again and it would be fine. This is even with my external usb dvd drive. I truly think it has more to do with the cheapness the burnable disks have come down to more than the drives themselves.

I dont know if that is the problem here for you, but so far every other piece of hardware has tested fine, no harm in trying the install with a usb instead :-)

Shane & Rolemodel, Thanks for your suggestions. I did as you suggested and burned the image on a usb flash drive. Unfortunately the same error appeared: "Windows Setup could not configure Windows to run on this computer's hardware."  From there I can run Msoobe and enter a profile name and reboot to Windows but the same hell starts over with the lovely BSODs starring luafv.sys. Even though the HD tests perfectly I went ahead and tried another known good working HD and the same error appeared. There must be a defect on this mobo preventing it from properly installing. This is a first for me.

Anyone have any further suggestions?

Shane:
Any chance of a picture of the error itself for I can see it?

Motherboard always a possibility, it is one of the harder things to test without the right test tools.

Also what version of Windows are you installing 32 or 64 bit? And when you install Windows does it need any drivers loaded to see the hard drive?

Also if possible can you go into safemode? And if so can you turn off the UAC?
