Hello. I recently bought this net-book: Acer | Aspire One | AO725-0600 | Overview (the specs are in my description) .I got it for my dad, but since he is a complete stranger to Windows 8, I figured I COULD install Windows 7 with no problem, (windows 7 x64 by the way). But ohh I was wrong, so wrong; extreme lag? check, random BSODs?, check, windows updates with random errors?, check, and a series of scary things. So well, I decided to RE-INSTALL windows 8 which was pretty logic since the net-book had that system from the beginning, but again I was wrong. Everything went smooth, and then BANG!, the net-book restarted to complete the install process, and then an IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error stops me dead from using my net-book ever again.
1. I read that this was supposed to be a driver or a program issue, but I deleted all partitions, and gave the HDD format, cleaning EVERYTHING inside, so I'm very confused.
2. I ran a memory test with memtest86+ and one with the Windows Diagnostic with 0 errors, as well chkdks just to be sure, everything fine with my HDD.
3. After a few tries, it gives me the Error code: 0xc0000001, and when I run an Automatic Repair I check the SrtTrail.txt and there's nothing, just Error codes=0x0, at the end says: "Root cause found: Failure while setup is in progress" which is obvious because I can't even complete it.
4. So as a last resort I use Restart you PC>Windows 8>Only the drive where Windows is installed>Just remove my files, and it completed, then it rebooted back to the Windows 8 start screen, then it went to "Getting devices ready", it hit 100%, then restarted, and then the error code strikes again.
5. I really forgot to use the clean UEFI Installation so I made a bootable USB drive with Rufus, (previously I just used the Windows DVD to USB Download Tool) but still the song remains the same (the BIOS settings I changed before where: "SATA Mode=SATA, now is AHCI Mode", "Boot Mode=Legacy BIOS, now is UEFI", I changed this because they where incompatible with Win7 but I loaded default setup now).
6. In one of my tries, the IRQL error changed to a DCP_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION??, in other it popped out KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE??, the PC restarted but in both times the IRQL error came back.
So I humbly ask if anyone could give me a piece of advice as to how to continue, I'm practically scratching my head now like a monkey. As I stated, the installation isn't finished, so I can't boot in safe mode because Windows tells me that "Windows cannot complete installation in Safe Mode. To continue installing Windows, restart the computer", and we go again. I really appreciate any reply in advance.
