qool · April 4, 2015

after my msi a78m-e35 broke and took my graphics card with it i saved up my money and went with a better a88x board by gigabyte and get another 4gb stick since i plan on gaming and just 4gb is not enough. i got it to boot into linux but when i try windows 7, it crashes every time and it wont let me use start up repair. help?

Most likely due to driver conflicts. Sadly, with Win7 your only option is to do complete reinstall.

yes a new chipset can mean you have to do a full reinstall. if you back up your data by plugging the drive into another pc first then re install windows, then put the data back on it should be fine

First of all, 4GB is enough for gaming in most cases. 8GB will just give your typical applications and rendering software a little boost.

Don't try installing more than one operating system on one hard drive. 98% of the time it won't work. So uninstall any drivers that you installed when you had Linux. After that just boot into Windows and create a partition on your hard drive and continue setup. This should work.
