    Windows 7 Need Help. New Computer Build w/ Windows 7

    Wouldn't it take me openning something on the thumb drive to infect my computer? I'm talking about a complete system crash or a BSOD about a quarter of a second after the thumb drive is inserted into the USB port. The split-second the LED lights up on the drive it crashes.

    Just figured I'd give an update. I RMAed my MOBO for an ASUS. Windows 7 installed fine with all 6gig of RAM. All of my driver updates were located on a thumb drive so I plugged in the thumb drive and got a BSOD. I now think I have a power supply issue.

    OK. Fresh install of Win 7. Never touched Norton Anti Virus. Many BSODs regardless and other crashes that didn't give me a BSOD. I've installed all of the drivers from my MOBO disk, plus MSE anti virus, plus google chrome, plus video drivers from ATI. Thats it. I pretty much get a BSOD...

    Ha. Good, that's what I wanted to try next anyway. I'm also not sure that I've got the Bios exactly how it should be. Sometimes when my computer crashes, I'll load up my bios and a warning will pop up saying my computer crashed because of overclocking. The only timing and voltage settings...

    Windows 7 Need Help. New Computer Build w/ Windows 7

    OK...Update of the day. I got home and booted up Windows. First I went to the Intel site to try to get driver updates. It didn't find one that I needed for the HDD, only for my network card, so I installed it. Then I used your Norton killer program to wipe the anti-virus program off of my...

    Windows 7 Need Help. New Computer Build w/ Windows 7

    Well the bad news is I had to let Check Disk run overnight because it took too long so I don't know exactly what it found or what it did. The good news is when I woke up in the morning the computer was up and running in windows 7 in normal mode. I'll try to fart around with that intel driver...

    Ok, let me give you an update first before I address your recommendation. Basically, I can't start the computer in anything but safe mode. If I try to start in Safemode plus network I get a BSOD. If I try to start in Safemode plus command prompt I get a BSOD. Having said that, one of the...

    Windows 7 Need Help. New Computer Build w/ Windows 7

    OK, update. I reinstalled Windows 7 with only one stick of RAM installed. It loaded up perfectly. Once in Windows I updated some drivers, turned off my machine and installed my other two sticks of RAM. Once I started the computer up, my RAM posted fine, and Windows recognizes the full 6GB...

    Windows 7 Need Help. New Computer Build w/ Windows 7

    I don't think I've installed any Gigabyte "utilities". But I have had to manually install some drivers from the Gigabyte CD to get things to work. For example, my network port didn't work after I installed windows, so I installed the network drivers from the Gigabyte CD. Then once I had...

    Windows 7 Need Help. New Computer Build w/ Windows 7

    After tweaking some QPI voltages from some other forums that I've read, I decided to start over with a clean install of windows to see if I could install windows with all 3 sticks of RAM installed. I couldn't. So obviously I have now lost all of the "minidumps" that I had before. Tonight I'll...

    Should have posted this in the OP. There are two versions of my Gigabyte MOBO. I have version 2.0 which seems like it is pretty new because there is only the original bios version available for it. So I know I have the current (as in only) bios.
