| 1140757 | 2010-09-30 20:09:00 | Hi, I just got my hard drive replaces, I put my windows XP cd in... Waited till it loaded... BOOM BSoD ! Again. When I go to bios it doesn't detect the hdd. I don't know if it detected the first time I plugged it in. When I switch the sata settings to something like atch or something (can't check at the moment, trying to see if it works with ubuntu) it shows in the bios, but I get a "Third master hard drive error" or something. This is freaking me out. I have bought the parts for like £700. I replaced the hard drive twice already for the same thing. I don't want to replace it again because it is embarrassing. EDIT:: I'm getting loads of I/O errors on ubuntu, I think the cd is scratched. |

| 1140758 | 2010-09-30 20:14:00 | How many hard drives do you have in total? Are they IDE or SATA or a mixture? What motherboard (brand and model) do you have? What is the exact BSOD stop error? |

| 1140759 | 2010-09-30 20:16:00 | How many hard drives do you have in total? 1 (the broken one). Are they IDE or SATA or a mixture? SATA What motherboard (brand and model) do you have? ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO What is the exact BSOD stop error? I will have a look in a minute ! :) |

| 1140760 | 2010-09-30 20:24:00 | The statement I'm getting loads of I/O errors on ubuntu, I think the cd is scratched. along with comment I replaced the hard drive twice already for the same thing. I would be looking at the motherboard & PSU , They may be frying HDD's. The HDD may be fine and the motherboard is the actual fault. Every thing attaches to the Motherboard, so any fault there will carry on to what ever component is attached, including the optical drive. Simple test, unplug the HDD, boot from the ubuntu CD - do you get errors still - if so the problems not the HDD. |

If you want to use AHCI (if you're trying to install XP), you need SATA drivers.Read and see what WHAT SATA ports the hdd/s should be connected to on the mobo. Some ports are for hdds (in AHCI mode). Others are for IDE mode |

| 1140762 | 2010-09-30 20:30:00 | Ok it says: " A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again follow these steps: Run a system diagnostic utility supplied by your hardware manufacturer. In particular, run a memory check, and check for faulty or mismatched memory. Try changing video adapters. Disable or remove any newly installed hardware and drivers. Disable or remove any newly installed software. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode. Technical information: *** STOP: 0x0000007F (0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) " |

Others are for IDE mode In the mobo manual it says: "thee connectors are for Serial ATA signal cables for Serial ATA 3Gb/s hard disk and optical disk drives. The Serial ATA 3Gb/s is backward compatible with Serial ATA 1.5GB/s. The data transfer rate of Serial ATA 3GB/s is faster than standard paraller ATA with 133 MB/s (Ultra DMA). If you install Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can createa RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0-1, or JBOD configuration through the onboard SB710 chipset" This is what it says on the sata page. |

| 1140765 | 2010-09-30 20:45:00 | 0x0000007F stop errors are normally hardware related . I would reseat the memory modules and remove any dust from them if there is any . I would then grab a copy of memtest 86 burn it to cd and run a test to verify the memory checks out okay if it doesn't remove one or more of the modules and retest till you find the faulty one . Step 2 Would be to replace the sata cables if possible and maybe try another PSU . After that I would focus on the board, but given its a solid cap design I would be less likely to think its that at the moment . |

| 1140766 | 2010-09-30 20:50:00 | As per the link Speedy posted: The most common causes of a STOP 0x7F are: * Low-level hardware corruption, such as corrupt memory (RAM) * Mismatched memory modules * A malfunctioning motherboard Buying another HDD wont fix the problem. The Previous HDD's - were they tested on another PC after they failed on yours ? Bit of history please; This is freaking me out. I have bought the parts for like £700Has this PC ever run OK, and if so, for how long - how old is it ? |
