Vista no longer starts after replacing the motherboard

• Vista will not start after replacing the motherboard

  The motherboard in my Dell Vostro 220 died for the 2nd time, and this time it's out of warranty. Not wanting
  

  another cheap/defective board from Dell, I bought a compatible Intel replacement from Newegg. After I put
  

  the replacement board in, Vista won't boot. Dell didn't provide an actual Vista cd/dvd, but rather their generic
  

  repair/driver cd, so I can't just reinstall Vista (32bit). I understand that Vista may have problems with the new
  

  motherboard, but didn't realize it wouldn't give me better opportunity to load new drivers from cd that came
  

  with the motherboard. Am I just screwed and going to have to buy a new Windows cd/licence? The log below is
  

  what Windows is reporting:
  
  Problem Signatures1  Auto Failover2  6.0.6001.18000.6.0.6001.180003  64  1966115  Bad Driver6  Bad Driver7  08  19  System Restore10  0
  
  OS Version 6.0.6001.2.1.0.256.1
  

  OK, thanks to a thread on DANIWEB here is the solution to my problem - Hiren BootCD (v15.1). MiniXP to start and run difficult HDD controller app. This allowed Vista to boot far enough to get the cd accompanying the motherboard. Later, life is good, Vista hasn't even complained on the new motherboard and licenses.

• Windows will not start after replacing the motherboard

  To begin, I must say that I am pretty clueless when it comes to computer skills.

  To summarize, I sent my CPU to a repair shop when my computer has stopped working. I removed my hard drive before starting the repairs because it contains confidential data.  They have narrowed the cause to a faulty motherboard and replaced by a new dissimilar.
  At the store, the guy had a vista 64 bit recovery disc so I have it home and tried to fix it. He said it will be a breeze and relatively bug free. As part of the Startup Repair, I tried to drive the Startup Repair, and tests were all successful except one. An error of diagnosis readings

  "Unspecified system configuration changes may have caused the problem.

  Repair action: repair and checking the integrity of system files

  Result: failed. Error code 0 x 490

  time taken = 720023 ms

  Everything I've done has led to a brief blue screen to the Windows loading screen and then it restarts itself.

  I also tried to restore to the previous two points, but it has also led to the square - a brief blue screen after the loading screen and restarts on its own windows. I'm not ready to reinstall vista and I can't afford to do it too, because I don't have enough disk space to perform another installation. Nor am I willing to reformat one of my two disks.

  If you need additional information on the specifications of the material that must be provided, ask me.

  IM at my end intelligence now, and I really hope to solve this problem.
  Thank you.

  Hello

  I'm sorry, but you have to completely reinstall the operating system after replacing the motherboard with a different motherboard.

  "Startup Repair" is exactly that: a start NOT a repair system repairs

  What has happened, it is the operating system on your hard disk contains the drivers for the old motherboard and does not and you can't change drivers in doing what you do.

  The only way to solve this problem is to reinstall Vista.

  You wipe the hard drive and restart and make sure that the repair shop gave you the disc to install the new drivers of motherboard after you reinstall vista or download on the website of the manufacturer of the motherboard.

  And here a question for you to consider, too.

  If you bought a copy of Vista retail yourself, you can use the method above to a new installation and then install the new disk motherboard drivers.

  But, if your computer is a trademark of purchased manufacturer, HP, Toshiba, etc., you can not change the motherboard that the license of Vista OEM is stuck at motherboard the origin of the manufacturer that it has been installed on and now you canceled your Vista license.

  See you soon.

• Vista is no longer valid after replacing the motherboard.

  Lost Vista

  I bought a computer from a large chain delivered pre-loaded with vista home premium on 4 or 5 years ago, so the warranty is over. In any case the MB fried so I bought a new / better, everything was working fine for a week and then my computer tells me I have an invalid copy of vista! It is not intended, should we not vista hard disk? Why would that be important what Mo I use? Just because it came preloaded, I even paid for a legal copy didn't I? Any help on that would be great...

  Thanks, Mike

  It does not make sense.

  Operating system that came with a computer is not transferable.

  your windows vista does not recognize your pc like the original because you have changed the motherboard.

• Impossible to reinstall Vista after replacing the motherboard

  I have replace my mobo last week.  I still have the same hard disk, cpu and RAM.  After starting my computer to the top, she would not accept vista for some reason any (I don't remember why) he did without BSOD for half a second, and then restart.  I find out one of my RAM sticks, lock was not engaged.  I fixed that, but it did not work.  I tried the system repair and recovery system, but they do not work.  I tried to reinstall vista with my recovery disks.  I reformatted the hard drive and complete the installation.  When the computer reboots, it said I had a system configuration error and I had to contact my computer manufacturer.  Of course HP could not help me because I have replaced the motherboard. I'm able to run my conputer because I installed ubuntu later. Everything works. My question is, when I have windows 7, I have to but the commercial version or do the upgrade?

  You will need a full retail version of Windows 7 or you could just buy a license for Windows 7 system builder OEM.

  -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

  -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

  -OEM versions allow all the hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard- that's why you could not reinstall Windows Vista on the new motherboard, because his attached to the motherboard that initially provided with HP and Vista recovery disk system are supposed to work only with him.

  -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

• Want to 800-060: reactivation after replacing the motherboard

  I bought a HP Envy 800-060 with Windows 8 pre - install Amazon in July of 2013. It was an incredible computer since that time, and when the free update of Windows 8 for Windows 10, I did immediately released. Recently, however, the motherboard has failed on the computer. It would not stay same POSITION, and after much troubleshooting, I finally decided to replace the motherboard. Now that the computer is running again, I guess that the motherboard change was sufficient for the operating system to think that it is no longer enabled. I was never provided with a key of Activation of OS (Win8 has been pre-installed), and Microsoft has suggested that I contact HP to find the original key. I've looked everywhere on the chassis and inside the tower for a valid Windows activation key, nothing helps. I tried to find a phone number to call for support, but my product is outside the guarantee. I don't need advice or troubleshooting tips (so I don't pay the $59.99), all I need is my activation key valid Windows based on my serial number of the product. Anyone know the best way to achieve HP with this problem and have it is resolved?

  Thanks in advance!

  The unfortunate, is that your original product key has been incorporated in the firmware original by HP motherboard UEFI when the PC was built.  There is no way to recover this key now.

  HP retains no record of keys to individualized product corresponding to individual computers, so they won't be able to provide you with the original key - and they are under no obligation to provide you with a SECOND key, that you didn't do the replacement of HP hardware.

  With the product now being out of warranty, it's really call HP or not you upload support - and the experience I have had with older equipment-, they do that, there's just no way around IDs.

  HP customer support is really the only way you have to get support.  If they don't help you for free, because your PC is out of warranty, there is nothing we can do about it on this forum.

• a610n - fan error of the system after replacing the motherboard

  Hi all

  I just replaced the motherboard on my system (phone http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware/M2N68-LA-Narra-2-Replacement/td-p/3711774) and now I get this error when starting: Fan failure system, PC service to avoid any damage. I thought it was the CPU fan but he was running and after some research, I realized that he could talk a case fan.

  As a side note, the motherboard, I had was a little different and missing 2 connections that seem to be the front mic/headphone and USB ports.

  Now, the case's fan then what really is the problem? Any ideas anyone?

  Thank you

  -Panos

  The rev3.02 of M2N68 - THE Committee a case fan rear 3 poles. See here.

  The CPU fan is a 4 pin cable and attaches to the appropriate header to 4 pins on the motherboard. See the representative schema above.

  As for you, another question, the front USB port attaches to a USB connector on the card.

• My copy registered and checked for XP Pro SP3 does not start after changing the motherboard. Second problem is that I can't find my original install of XP Pro disc.

  After failing to find the source of reliable performance from my PC, I decided to bite the bullet and replace the motherboard, memory and the CPU. I installed a triple base 435 Athlon and a motherboard Gigabyte MA74GMT. Awarded PC again started the first time - but Windows will not, I get a number of options but none work - safe mode brings up several lines of messages on the partition of multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0).

  A previous post suggested that a similar message meant some kind of malware but if I replace the old motherboard, processor and memory Windows works very well - in fact I use it now.

  Do I have an option but to reinstall Windows from a CD? Otherwise I have a problem - I can't find the installation discs for each piece of software except my Windows XP Pro! I do repair discs?

  Thanks for your help.

• Qosmio F10 recover after replacing the motherboard

  Hello

  I'm having a problem with my Qosmio F10 recovery. It won't boot from the CD, I get a message "media test check the cable failure".
  I tried everything I could find here on this issue without any results. Then I read somewhere on this forum that this recovery cd would not work if the laptop has been repaired and has a new motherboard. This is excatly the case.

  I got a new motherboard and CD/DVD player put some time ago.
  How can I make it work again?

  A.

  > Then I read somewhere on this forum that this recovery cd would not work if the laptop has been repaired and has a new motherboard. This is exactly the case.

  Who replaced the motherboard? THE ASP?

  Well, usually the recovery CD should work after the replacement of the motherboard.
  I presume that the parts have been replaced with exactly the same parts and so it should t be a conflict between the recovery and the new motherboard CD.

  Have you tried to boot from another bootable Win XP or Linux CD? Check it!

• Qosmio F10: RAM upgrade issue after replacing the motherboard

  In 2006, when my F10 - 128 fell down as a fault of the video card, Toshiba has replaced the motherboard (865 PM) of my F10 by a new one with the video card installed in Go 6600.
  When I came back, I noticed that the same RAM modules have been installed (2 x 512 MB DDR 333 Mhz) as I previous had on the old motherboard.

  Then, I assumed that I could easily upgrade to DDR2 RAM, I realized that this type of RAM supported by the new motherboard installed (915 PM?). But the modules DDR2 Ram (Kingston 1 GB SODIMM (KVR533D2S4 - 1 G) 533 MHz) that I ordered is simply not in the storage media... The notch in the module is placed differently that the modules of RAM DDR.

  If the jury has been replaced by a newer version, with the video card Go 6600 (PCIexpress), how is, I have a Council that can not support DDR2?

  Here, I am really confused. Someone at - it advice please?

  > If the jury has been replaced by a newer version, with the video card Go 6600 (PCIexpress), how is, I have a Council that can not support DDR2?
  I think the jury is still supported DDR2 memory modules, but the allocation of the memory pins could be different.

  You should contact the ASP in your country and ask for the compatible modules.

• How to re-enable Windows 7 after replacing the motherboard.

  I managed to replace the motherboard in an Acer Aspire v3 and all is well (or almost).

  Only problem is that Windows 7 requires now that I'm using an illegal copy of Windows.

  I know that the reason is that the version of Windows OEM is selected with the original motherboard.

  I talked to both supports of Microsoft and Acer support several times but neither can or reactivates my windows. Is it really to do I have to pay for a new product key as a consequence of a repair?

  Hello

  That said, that the next question is if I can solve the problem by buying a new product key?

  Yes, look at this response from Microsoft.

• Reactivate Windows 7 after replacing the motherboard

  I had to replace the motherboard. I have a 3-license Windows 7, installed copy on 3 machines (including this one). Windows tells me I have to reactivate, but the system of automatic phone won't let me because he thinks he's already on 3 machines. I can't find a way to learn how to talk to a person to explain. There was a previous answer saying to call the activation number but not to choose all the guests, but who never goes to a live person; the fair guests get an angry sounding, and finally he told to go away and come back when you're ready to do it properly.

  How can I get a real person to explain this?
