With regards to this system
Q6600 G0
Tuniq Tower
4GB Mushkin PC8500 (D9's) (5-5-4-12) (2.2v)
PNY 8800 GTX
CORSAIR 520HX
600 GB Raid 5 (4x7200.10)
Does this sound like an MB issue?
A few weeks ago I had an issue with my video; there was not any. I tried everything and nothing helped. I was getting ready to RMA the board and removed it. I had the whole thing apart and then figured I would test it with the board out of the system. It worked. SO.. I put it back in the case and it still worked.
Over the next few days later I upgraded 2 sticks of RAM to match my Mushkins, replaced a hard drive, installed FEAR and a few other bits of software. One day I start getting BSODs, I can not pinpoint exactly when, I set the BIOS back to stock then the video started cutting out again, reinstalled drivers, removed programs, removed ram, etc, etc, etc.. The video output randomly returned, I switched out video cards & memory - without any change.....
The BSOD dumps do not yeild consistant results; it appears to be an IRQ conflict, but nothing shows up in device manager.
I removed the RAID and, on a new hard drive, reinstalled the OS (xp x64).
1. Installed windows
2. Added net card drivers
3. Added wireless drivers
4. Added chipset drivers -- which worked at first, showed as USB 2.0, but after a re-boot the SB ports came up with a yellow flag in the device manager and did not work. Once I rolled each USB device driver back they returned, but as 1.1 ports... uggggggggggg
5. Tried to install on board sound drivers, failed looking for updated HD drivers
6. Tried to install SP2, BSOD started AGAIN!
7. Rolled back system to step 2.
8. Tried to install SP2, BSODs almost instantly.
Any Ideas??
