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.
That is why, also clearly there is an underlying problem. It appears ( following more research) that this BSD appears when there is an underlying stability problem in the system. I know it is the fashion to slag of Vista but one could argue that the fact it is doing extensive system checks is a good thing. The fact that XP 'nix and the others will run and then possibly fall over later isn't good.
Does seem rather odd particularly as you are using a modern CPU. Did it get through the Vista install at all? Did this occur when you went to activate?
During the install, after the point where files are copied and you get the windows is loading bar for the first time. This seems (according to other reports of installed versions) to be the early point in the OS load where these checks take place. So nothing to do with activation.
Just a thought. Have you tried going into the bios and increasing the voltages on the memory and CPU a notch. Alternately underclock the CPU and see if it makes any difference
Hi Jim Nope I have tried fail safe and standard settings only. If I get a chance during the week I will rig it up again and give it a try, any recommendations for the voltage increases? Cheers
