 BSOD I keep getting the BSOD. I installed a new NIC and decided to plug in an ancient IDE HDD. I went to start up Windows, and it freezes when loading my startup programs after I log on. It runs fins in safe mode, but when I try to change the resolution to something reasonable (1440x900) it BSODs.
Im running Win7 Ultimate 64Bit.

Re: BSOD It's probably from that crappy operating system you "made."

Re: BSOD Problems as of late sounds very much like bad memory or a bad Windows install. Run a memory test, I'm 80% sure Windows 7 installs one when it installs. I know I have one from when I stuck the RC in.

Re: BSOD The install is perfect, I've had it since September with no issues whatsoever.
It all started when I plugged in the ancient IDE HDD.
How do I run the memory test? I know Win7 has one, I just don't know where it is.

Re: BSOD The issue is probably your "ancient IDE HDD." Can't write memory to swap because of a faulty drive. Blamo, BSOD because memory can't be written to disk and processes blocked.
