i gave up and bought a new mobo as i dont have time to deal with the lockups and random bsods, my new mobo is a gigabyte ga-k8n51gmf-9 (sounds like a mobile suit..) and its rock solid stable for the past 3hours of copying things off usb hds compaired to the ecs one which locked up every 20min
still getting random bsods though...this time it was about a device driver causing a stack baised buffer overflow...still haven't touched usb drives yet, might do a fresh system install this weekend of win2k3 x64
ok a update on my side, 13 hours later the system is still up and running...running minimal services though, apache/mysql...i'm going to test usb when i'm back from class see if it will keep crashing for me. I did use my usb scanner for 30min scanning various images without it locking up, will...
ok its been almost 2hours since that last bsod with nvapu.sys, so i changed the sound card drivers to be the win2k3 6.69 one instead of the ones from 6.70, will update if anything happens..
edit, 4hours now..still going strong...odd last two hours was on photoshop and mp3s...going to leave...
