This is kind of a follow up from this thread here: http://www.osnn.net/graphics-cards/100798-weird-possible-video-card-issue.html#post876831
So here's what I have now:
AMD X2 6000+ (Brisbane)
ASUS M4A785-M
4x1GB Wintec AmpX DDR2-800
Samsung F1 500GB (boot drive)
Samsung F3 1TB (storage)
BenQ DW1650 IDE DVD burner
Samsung SH203B SATA DVD burner
Zalman 9500 cooler
Seasonic ST-50EF PSU
Encore Wireless N PCI card
Build went together great and booted my old Win XP install fine. My first annoyance was that this mobo can't control the Zalman fan speed as it's not PWM. My old biostar board did just fine. Secondly, I STILL can't seem to get DVI working. So I move forward.
I go to install Win7-64 Ultimate and it keeps blue screening during install. So I delete ALL the partitions on the boot drive and let Windows create a new partition during install. At this time it also creates a 100MB "System" partition for test files? I've never seen this before and don't know how normal it is. Finally Win7 installs.
All is fine for about 10 minutes until Win 7 crashes. It is NOT a stable install. Last night I ran Samsung's ESTool on the boot drive and it passed all tests. I have run Memtest+ on this memory about a week ago and it passed 24 hours. It is currently through 6 hours of testing now without a problem. I know the PSU is good. The CPU runs Orthos without errors. Ubuntu seems to run fine on the system.
What the hell is going on here?
