MagicMan,

I'm assuming you have a SATA optical drive. Unfortunately this is a common bug with XP-32 and all nForce 780i boards. There are two things you can try. First, try plugging the Sata cable into a different port. While I normally use Vista, I have XP-32 currently setup for benching, and was able to solve the same problem with my optical drive by simply moving it to a different port. If this does not work, your next best bet is to remove the nVidia drivers from your Windows installation and use the defaults instead.

Hi, thanks for the reply .

Yeah, i'm using a samsung SATA optical drive. Thanks for the tips i'll try later as its 4 in the morning right now . I've had the board 3 weeks now and i love it, everything has been working fine, except for this annoying BSOD which appears out of nowhere, but it makes sense as i didn't have the BSOD for 2 weeks and in that time i never used my drive once and this morning i was installing a game and BAM! BSOD . I was beginning to think the board just didn't like my RAM or something.

Also is the bug still there using XP64? As i have another 2gigs of memory just sitting here and i'm wanting to use them.

Thanks
