    BSOD during XP/Vista install on Intel D975XBX2 (RESOLVED!)

    I posted over on XtremeSystems (takes 24 hours to get an account) so let's hope the guru's of gurus can come up with something. I'll certainly post findings back here. The memory successfully passed an hour of MemTest86+ (left both sticks in, 0 errors) and I'm going to run some tests now...

    Thanks for your thoughts - any others?

    Sorry, bear with me - this is the first system I've put together. The only memory settings I have in the BIOS is "Memory Voltage" which is the 1.84 value and I've upped this to the 2.1 and 2.2 as rated by the RAM. What's the divider?

    Worth a shot, will take a look there. Thanks EagleRock ... ugh ... registration there is manually controlled. I have to wait for human validation (sigh).

    Complete BSOD is: "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. Check for viruses on your computer. Remove...

    I did try the single HDD setup w/o RAID. The BSOD reads: 'check for viruses on your computer. Remove any newly installed hard drives or hard drive controllers. Check your hard drive to make sure it is properly configured and terminated. Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption, and then...

    Motherboard - Ram : I am confused

    I wish you luck, I'm struggling with that RAM/Mobo combination now: http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview...atid=29&threadid=2008726&enterthread=y

    No such luck, the mobo auto-detects the RAM as 5-5-5-16 (1.84) so I adjusted the settings to 4-4-4-12 (2.1 and 2.2) to no avail. Pulled out the RAM and tried one at a time without additional success.

    Ok ... will give that a shot in about 30 minutes & report. Thanks for your thoughts.

    BSOD during XP/Vista install on Intel D975XBX2 (RESOLVED!)

    Not sure these are D9 sticks or not, I know that most of them are or were. I haven't tried just going with one stick - will this board function with just one? (I thought filling both slots was required) I haven't changed voltage either - in the BIOS it said they were running at 1.84 which...

    BSOD during XP/Vista install on Intel D975XBX2 (RESOLVED!)

    I just set up the hardware for a new system and when the OS starts to load, I'll get the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD). A quick google around for "D975XBX2 bsod" reveals many people having similar problems (primarily loading Vista) and their solution was to load the new BIOS (2618). I've done...
