again computer powered on for 20 hours with the Vista HDD running with no crash. Switched over to Win 7 this morning and had BSOD within 20 minutes. Also 2 tb external HDD not recognized in Win 7 but works fine with Vista. Any chance one of the SATA controllers on the motherboard has become unreliable? Maybe a memory problem? Any way to test the ram?
I had given up on this system till a few days ago. I brought the computer upstairs to my office and plugged the power cord into the wall outlet. Voila! 10 hours of running Windows 7 and no BSOD. The next morning I plugged my PC into a surge protector power bar. Win 7 crashed within 3 minutes. I tried several power bars and UPS units and the BSOD shows up almost instantly. Plugged into the wall- no problem. Is this posibly a sign of a failing PSU?
cybercore said:You got 2 different brands and good that their specs are identical. 666Mhz 5-5-5-15. Your Dram frequency is currently 624Mhz whch is not good at all. If "auto" in the bios does not set it right, set it manually 666Mhz.
