[Marios]

I reinstalled the os. then ran sfc /verifyonly. it passed. i continued the install everything else. I got BSOD after i installed call of duty 4 and tried to run it. the same cause like before nvidia sata controler. My question is, is for some reason the files i am keeping on the pc(game patches and stuff) corrupted. I installed call of duty from disk but the patches are on the hard drive in another partition. Also while audio seems perfect with music and videos. i am getting issues when playing games. company of hereos has a slight static crackling sound, not all the time and not loud. I installed the brand new X-fi beta drivers that i heard where really good for vista.

In case you get problems with stock BIOS settings you have a hardware problem. So try to find which device fails.
How did you install your nforce chipset drivers and which version? Did you install NAM or anything else besides the SATA drivers? You should not.
There is no way to get corruption on this board unless you have overclocked really bad or you have a defective hard disk.
