Hi,

I'm experiencing a bizare problem when installing windows 7. After the installation, when at the screen where you chose your user and computer name, after clicking next a loading takes place, then I get an error message saying "interactive logon process has failed. Check event log for more details". The computer then shuts down and reboots and does its first windows boot without a problem.

However, I am experiencing a lot of crashes, especially during amd driver install and basic multitasking. I am using stock bios settings, one of which is ide sata mode. I also enabled xmp support for ram but am using auto voltages and timings. My bios has a recent version.

Also, I noticed my cpu temp, as stated in the bios, hovers around 50 oC. However, HWmonitor gives a package temp in the low 10s. Tmpin0,1 and 2 (mobo sensors) are in the mid-high 30s in idle.

I googled this error message but people give the advice of doing a clean install, which is when the error arise for me.

Is this error relevant and does it have anything to do with my system's instability?

Resolved the issue. Installed windows from a different source.
