| 1218057 | 2011-08-14 01:00:00 | Just had another BSOD after running for about half hr Stop:0x000000F4 (0x00000000000000003, 0xFFFFFA8004800480048BCB30, 0xfffffA80048BCE10, 0xfffff80003383240) This time a restart didn't fix it. Stopped at black screen, verifying. Tryed again, stopped at disk boot failure. Tryed reboot, same result. |

| 1218058 | 2011-08-14 02:15:00 | Did you try what Was suggested in the PM regarding changing SATA ports, power leads etc ? | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1218059 | 2011-08-14 03:55:00 | Tryed Burnintest while the system was running ok & everyting passed. Then that graphics error showed up, so addressed that but nothing was gained. Today when it bluescreened I progressively swapped cables round. Only have the one CPU power cable. Nothing changed & I haven't been able to get win7 to load yet. After several attemps I got it to boot from the win7 disc & was able to have a look at the HD. OS & Data partitions were not visable, only the small Boot (X) partition that win7 creates for presumably recovery files. So a little unsure just how to proceed from this point. I may strip it right down and reasemble it in case there is a faulty conection somewhere |

| 1218060 | 2011-08-15 04:16:00 | Update on proceedings. Stripped this down to basics. Havent removed cpu at this stage. Noticed the mobo is slightly bowed where the cpu is located. Some boards have a re-inforcing plate on the back but this one doesent. Refitted the mobo with some teflon blocks supporting the cpu area. Have re-assembled with just enough conected to get it to boot up. Have tryed different cables & different sata ports but it is exactly the same as in the previous post. Have booted now from ultimate boot disc & are currently running all the tests to try & point the finger at something. |

| 1218061 | 2011-08-16 05:56:00 | One of the HD's has showed up as faulty, would have to be the one with the os on it. So have discarded that & after yet another installation we are up & running again. Went for most of a day before it restarted & hung on the Gigabyte start screen. Reboot, same, restart ok. I have disabled auto restart & have bluescreen viewer ready to catch the next bsod. |

| 1218062 | 2011-08-16 06:43:00 | Its possible the motherboard has / is developed (ing) a fault, or there are some sort of driver problem. When you have done the most recent installs, what drivers have been installed apart from the gigabyte motherboard drivers ? |
wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1218063 | 2011-08-16 07:48:00 | Graphics from ATI. Lan & Audio from Gigabyte. Printer drivers from their own sites. I also updated the bios this time. |

| 1218064 | 2011-08-16 07:53:00 | Did you set the BIOS to its default settings, then reconfigure it after? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1218065 | 2011-08-16 08:15:00 | Yes I reset it when the mobo was out. | Driftwood (5551) | ||
