Hello, I am trying to set up a dual boot with win 10 on my wife's pc which has win 7 installed on an Asus P8H77-M LE motherboard.

When I try to do a fresh install with the win 10 dvd it boots into the logo for about a minute then I get this blue screen error message. "Your pc has run into a problem and needs to restart. We'll restart for you. If you'd like to know more you can search online for this error - System service exception." There is a lot of information online for this error in running versions of win 10 but very little during installation. The error just repeats if I reboot with the dvd in place.

I also tried installing a second version of win 7 to the win 10 partition I had created and upgrading with the Microsoft upgrade tool. The installation ran as normal until it needed to reboot when I got the same blue screen error and was unable to continue. In fact the error also happens if the hard drive is disconnected, which makes me think it might be a problem with the bios. Asus haven't provided win 10 drivers for the P8H77-M LE but they have for the P8H77-M,

As far as I can tell these boards seem the same except that the P8H77-M has more hardware features, none of which seem relevant to the ability to run win 10. So my question is this, assuming that it is not a hardware problem, would it be possible to transfer the win 10 compatible part of the P8H77-M bios to the P8H77-M LE bios and if so what would be the best way to proceed?

Thanks for any advice,
David.

Thanks Fernando, I will give that a try tomorrow and let you know what happens.

Booting win 10 from a usb stick gives the same bsod as booting it from a dvd.

At which stage of the Win10 installation did you get the message?

Did you boot off a "clean" (untouched) Win10 image?

Did you load any driver?

Did you unplug all other Disk Drives except the target system drive?

Is the target system drive connected to an Intel SATA port? If yes, which one?

Have you set the SATA Controller to "AHCI" before you started th OS installation?

Has the target HDD/SSD been used before? If yes, with which SATA mode (IDE/AHCI/RAID)?

Hi!

Have you tried updating your BIOS?
I read the whole thread, but you didn't mention it.

Have you compared the BIOS settings between your 2 mainboards?

Did you run a memory test, like memtest86 or memtest86+?
Maybe it's the RAMs fault or one memory slot is dead.

Best regards,
Mr nUUb

Yes I have the latest bios for the P8H77-M LE.

I did try comparing the P8H77-M LE and the P8H77-M bios using MMTool and there are some differences but they don't mean much to me (is there a glossary of bios code somewhere?) which is why I was hoping someone here could tell me if the P8H77-M LE bios could be updated to win 10 compatability by using the P8H77-M bios as an example?

I haven't run any memory tests but the machine installs and runs win 7 without a problem and has been doing so for 2 or 3 years, using the full 4gb of ddr3 installed. But I will do so just to be thorough.

At first I thought Asus just hadn't bothered to update the P8H77-M LE drivers, especially as it is so similar to the P8H77-M which is updated, but now I am beginning to think that if they could have updated they would most likely have done so and there is something in the hardware configuration preventing it being updated. (Perhaps it is an earlier revision than the P8H77-M?). But that is not an excuse. Would anyone buy a board if they knew it was going to be obsolete within about 2 years?

I'm sorry if I wasn't clear enough. I meant the settings you made during BIOS configuration and not the BIOS modules or code.

I just use the default settings, except for changing to AHCI and putting the dvd as first boot device.

I had given you the advice to unplug all storage devices (incl. the Optical drive), except the target HDD/SSD for the OS installation, and to boot off the USB Flash Drive, which contains the desired Win10 image.
This includes, that at the beginning of the OS installation the first bootable device has to be the USB Flash Drive and the first bootable HDD has to be the target HDD/SSD for the OS installation.

You are absolutely right - it is absolutely not acceptable, if ASUS had delivered an Intel 7-Series Chipset mainboard model, which is absolutely not usable with Windows 10. If I were you, I would demand either a new BIOS, which solves the problem, or a new mainboard, which supports Win10.
