Yeah. 2 different IDE cables, and Im using the SATA cables that the mobo comes with. My system boots so fast I didnt see that Ctrl-z option. I have be fast on the trigger just to get into BIOS.
Well anyway I just rebooted from another BSOD. This time an 8x00000E. I was just surfing youtube and seeking through video (i.e. FF) and then it just BSOD.
Try setting your memory voltage to High. I had a problem with a system recently (on a Gigabyte MB) where the RAM voltage wasn't high enough, and the system was very unstable. Upping the voltage sorted it.
I tried upping voltage to High as per suggestion from someone else on a forum. That made my system unbootable. I had to clear CMOS to get back in. I've been wondering why when I set BIOS to auto for ram settings, it doesnt select 667, instead it selects 533? I know it takes info from the SPD. I've tried using 533 to see if perhaps its 667 mode that it doesnt like but that doesnt fix anything.
I did run Memtest86+ via Ultimate Boot CD and it found errors. I let it run for a bit over 7 hours, then I had to use my system so I canceled the rest of the tests. I'll run it later tonight when I goto bed so it has more time to run, but that could be the issue all along. If so thats a rather easy fix. I've also read some things about the memory controller, and apparently quite a few ppl are having problems and their tracing it back to the memory controller itself.
This could explain the random BSOD's I've been getting. This is Kingston Value ram, brand new. Unless I can get replacement from Kingston, I could get different ram for under $40. What is everyone else using for their RAM?
Thankfully, my old system has a few DDR1 chips that I could put on this mobo. I'll do that tomorrow and see what happens. If it fixes things, I'll promply replace, after punching myself in the head for not doing sooner.
