The confusing thing is that it doesn't seem to mind the DDR2 400 multiplier, but if I got to the 533 that's when I get a lot more instability, I don't see why my RAM would affect the SATA drive though.
The best way to avoid this is to find your best clock... the ultimate one, the one you want to run 24/7 on.... the install windows when using that clock... afterwards? DON'T TOUCH BIOS.... Don't even think about hitting delete on boot

That's the best way to avoid corrupting your windows install

And that goes for any board... hypertransport is a crummy corrupter if played with to much!
