It seems to be a problem only with a Chaintech VNF3-250 motherboard, and not with my Intel D850 motherboard.

Windows tells me it wasn't able to boot properly the last time, but even Safe Mode will not work. It gives me a blue screen with a message like, "If this is your first time seeing this, restart your computer, etc... If you continue to get this message, check your hard drive for viruses, run CHKDSK /F, etc..."

Both my HDs run fine on my Intel board.

Identify the blue screen error and google it to see other people's results from this error.

Have you recently installed any new hardware or software that may be creating this problem.

It would be a good idea to undo whatever changes were last made. Failing this, try a system restore.

Since the drives run fine on your Intel board, maybe you can reinstall the motherboard northbridge chipset drivers on the malfunctioning system.

Are you like swapping hard drives with windows installations on them between AMD and Intel motherboards? If so, you cannot swap hard drives between motherboards like that.
