im pretty sure its a sata issue, nvidia always had sata issues since nf3 iirc, with nf4 they were quite bad, especially with raid, with nf5 and nf6 they seemed fixed and only minor problems appeared, not with 7 it seems to be broken again... lets hope it can be fixed with a new bios...
I myself Use a dedicates PCIe RAID controller, so don't think at least in my case linked to SATA issues. Note that most if not all of the corruption happened on the ASUS S2E, after the FSB is overclocked, even though the Memory is at relaxed timings.

Again using relaxed memory speed and timings, the S2E continues to corrupt system data as soon as the FSB is raised. CellShock-1800@1600-8-7-6-21-1.9V should not cause corruption. Reference boards have no such problem as far as I can see.

People continue to report high overclocks on their ASUS S2E. I can do exactly the same thing, posting hours of ORTHOS runs with Screenshot of CPU-Z showing 4.05Ghz CPU, 450FSB, 1800-7-7-6 Memory. Followed by a . And maybe even a . BUT all of those are mute points when data are corrupted by the motherboard.


A screenshot of a scan for system file integrity should also accompany screenshot of your system settings after at least a few hours since the overclock settings has been applied, after some system restarts and stability test runs.

To run system file integrity scan:
- search for "cmd"
- right click-run as administrator
- type in "sfc /scannow"
after scanning it will tell you if your windows is corrupted and weather it was able to fix the corrupted data(most probably not).
