A7N8X-E Deluxe BSODs left and right

[mrSHEiK124]

I haven't been able to figure out why my A7N8X-E is suddenly giving me BSODs with sil3112r.sys as the cause. I booted into safe mode and downloaded the 1.0.0.50 drivers from ASUS's site (I had 1.0.0.33 from the installation CD) but it's still giving me BSODs.

FWIW, it's got an AMD Athlon XP 2600+ Mobile at 200 x 9 at first, then I tried 166 x 12 because I thought it might be the 200 MHz FSB causing the problem, then I tried 100 x 6 (lowest possible setting) and it still BSODs.

If your BSOD is that "sil3112r.sys" file, Yep its the RAID driver. Sounds like your using the wrong one.

But my board has got a Sil3112 controller, plus, I've been using the driver for almost a year now on this install of Windows, and a year before that when it was in my own computer (now it's on HTPC duty).

Also, the computer boots and works fine in Safe Mode (been on for at least an hour now, no BSOD), even though I can clearly see that it's loading sil3112r.sys.

EDIT: I rolled back to 1.0.0.33 and then reinstalled 1.0.0.50 in Safe Mode and now it works fine, go figure.
