I have inherited a Gigabyte motherboard fitted with an intel Quad Core CPU. Having stuffed it in a box and attempted to install windows I keep getting a BSD after all the windows files have been copied accross. I have tried re-seating the CPU but the problem persists.
The BSD states there is a problem with the cryptographic subsystem, whatever that means!
Pic of BSD attached.
Anyone know what this means and if the CPU is on the way out?
Cheers

Has the bios been updated - remember Gigabyte have dual bios so going back in case of failure is relatively painless

As a first go I would try going down to one stick of good ram and a different graphics card.

I am wondering if the 'check' also looks at the processor I just have a feeling this is where the problem might be. I believe the previous owner had the CPU in and out a few times and wonder if it is damaged.
Cheers

Fitted the board and CPU with a PSU, memory, HD, CD, Video Card and Keyboard.
Booted to Bios and loaded safe settings.
Attempted Vista install, failed with same blue screen as my original post.
Booted with UBCD and ran all the CPU and Memory tests, all results good, no errors.
Attempted XP install, perfect install.
So it seems the setup is fine as long as you aren’t trying to run Vista! The very weird thing is that I know this board and CPU has been used as a vista box.
It’s a bit of a pain as I want to sell the board and CPU but don’t really feel I can add the proviso, oh and you can’t run Vista on it.
Cheers

Have you tried reflashing the bios and/or using the clr_cmos jumper to clear the cmos values (instructions in the manual).

I am re-flashing it now with V11 just in case it is corrupted, there is also a v12beta that I will try as well if V11 doesnt work. I'll let you know what happens!
