rollback (nvidia IDE), IDE busmaster, and SATA drivers to generic MS XP SP2
or format/reinstall XP SP2 slipstreamed (ONLY), do not install nforce except audio, smbus or USB
do not let anything associated with HDD or system devices (PCI-CPU etc) (advanced mode show hidden) in dev manager have nvidia drivers
run memtest 86+ from floppy
boost standard mem voltage by .2
make sure SATA drive is jumpered as SATAI, SATA II is just fantasy speed
buy dif sata cables even tho they look good
make sure SATA raid is off in bios
make sure IDE HDD is off in bios
Use HDD Tach to see if drive is using UDMA 5
Make sure use DMA if possible is checked in disk manager

even thouh i used that program , stll the same problem ;s dont know waht to do

My guess would be bad ram then. You can check it with memtest. Just download the ISO for memtest, burn it to a CD and then boot your computer to it.

It would still be better, and very simple (probably easier in fact) to use memtest. memtest will also test more than just your ram sticks.

That error message has been around for ~ 5 years.
add some voltage to cpu and RAM, only run 1 stick
underclock FSB, just to test
You are gonna have to try a stick of some cheap RAM like corsair value select at SPD timings

Did you look at the stress.txt file in notepad?

You didnt say how long this has been going on, and how you first noticed it.

Latest bios - 1014? for plain A8NSLI

And if you are really desperate, heres 253 pages of A8NSLI

lOL thanks man i appreciate it.
ill read it !!! thanks
also
the problem happens when i disconnect all my parts cuz i went home and i took my memory and hard drive with me. when i connected again the problem appeared!


hehe, i passed the Memtest on windows. i coudlnt install it on the disket.

so it showed some erros ass soon as i ran it.

so i tried to raise the voltage to 2.7 v and the problems still.

i used the defaults bios, and the problems the same

used autu timmings or the settings i used that the beggining and same problem

well, thats different - if it happened after a physical removal, travel, and reinstall of hdd and ram, that indicates possible static electricity damage to ram, or hdd cable/connector damage or looseness at mobo female connector. or, you may have dinged the mobo with hdd, or ram needs to be reseated
In other words, the physical things.

You might also try a long (2 HR MINIMUM) CMOS full reset. Turn off PSU, unplug from wall, take out battery, set pin jumper to 2-3, wait, reset pin jumper to 1-2 reinstall battery, replug PSU, turn it back on, go into bios, set failsafe, reboot.

You might try 2.8V on ram, its rated for that.

But, you are going to have to bite the bullet and get a stick of RAM somehere. Remember, cheap crap ram boots and runs because it has sloppy timings.
