I will tell you what the error I'm experiencing is, if anyone can help then please do so because I've tried near enough everything and I can't fix it. I have 6 drives here and all are full of OSes with none I can delete so I'm stuck. Phenom system is still no boot (OS).

I can use the system though as it's not in error apart from the drive, I'm running a LiveCD of Ubuntu with the Phneom system right now and was running UBDC4Win with it earlier.

It's 0x7b 0xC000034 STOP error at bootup exactly when the Windows XP loading screen should appear.

The error decodes to "Inaccessible Boot Drive" i.e.
The Stop 0x7B message indicates that Windows XP has lost access to the system partition or boot volume during the startup process. Installing incorrect device drivers when installing or upgrading storage adapter hardware typically causes stop 0x7B errors. Stop 0x7B errors could also indicate possible virus infection.

The second parameter is very important because it can indicate whether the 0x7B Stop message was caused by file system issues or problems with storage hardware and drivers. Values of 0xC000034 or 0xC000000E typically indicate:

• Disks or storage controllers that are failing, defective, or improperly configured.

• Storage-related
Cause: I did nothing but a reboot after using AOD and since then it is giving me this error. It is something drive related. I installed no software/drivers anew since over 2 tweaks apart from Catalyst 8.32 2 days ago so it can't be driver related either.

Steps taken to resolve:
-It is not a registry error since I have replaced the registry with a known working one and a new one and I still get the same error far before the registry is called.
-I have removed all extra drivers and it still will not boot.
-It's not the SATA port nor the PSU connector.
-The Boot.ini is perfect as before.
-Pagefile is good as before.
-Drive has zero fragmentation or checkdisk errors and works with other systems fully (SMART status is very healthy).
-It may be the MBR, but that should signal a different error. I'm reluctant to try this as I may get a no boot situation totally.
-I have tried a XP Repair, no luck.

Hmm I can boot and run some benches at 2832MHz and have only given it upto 1.445V yet and it was unstable. Maybe I should increase the volts too?
About ASUS layout you can't use 4 dual slot graphic cards, like the 2 I got (with MSI it's possible) SATA ports are well placed and horizontal connection is cool, if MSI had those it will be "almost" perfect.
Yeah for Gfx MSI board is better but the SATA ports layout, I have a different taste due to my setup.
On the MSI side I can't use the Power/Reset buttons bcz 2nd card are on top.
Which cards?

The 2nd card need to be a single slot less than 23cm to be able to use both buttons. Anything bigger than say the X1900XTX in CF will make the two buttons out of reach.
BTW you deserve that free parts you are receiving, you are doing an real good job, and I'm sure like me others are buying RD790 systems relying on your expertise, including tictac, polygon and others.
I wish...

Thank you for the words though.

Not necessarily. Only in specific cases where your NB has low volts for the speeds and you had given enough CPU voltage.

Oh, I see, thanks. Pretty bad that.

I have a feeling it might be something around the cpu that doesn't like the cold rather than the cpu, I felt to the side of the mount towards the ram and the board was cold, but I dunno if that means anything. My last tricks to try are going to be lowering the nb and ht-link, but I don't think it'll work, although increasing the ht voltage did help stability a slight bit at 259, got me to the 3rd iteration of 8k instead of the second. I am going to put the 9500 under before I switch back to air, its just that I use the XP-90c with the vantec tornado, and 50 dba is not pleasant sounding, which is why I bought the vapo in the first place. Cold temps, future proof, and can be made relatively quiet. I wish I had more voltage readings, would make everything a heck of alot easier tweaking-wise.
Use a DMM and measure the voltages around your board, load/idle. The ASUS I tried had a large vdroop and vdrop, the MSI doesn't though. Feed it some PLL voltage too.
