ask xt0m, he had 2 hdds die on him, he should be able to give you some details.
if he tells you interesting details please post them here

and dinos, you cant vote?
you should all be able to vote again, editing wasnt possible so i asked for a clear reset.

KTE, well, this hdd corruption thing seems to be related to the southbridge, which on 790 and 680 is identical right?
the memory instability causing corruption seems to be yet another problem related to the northbridge, or maybe just the bios...
hopefully just the bios...
i can't saaya....but i will probably stay out of it anyway as i am doing in the OSes during RAM testing

i corrupted another OS last night while testing RAM

this is getting on my nerves now

lol during my initial testing all i did is leave RAM at 2GHz 8-7-6-20 1T and go about usual tests lol and now with all the RAM tests i keep losing OSes

it's definitely unusual. i cannot remember last time i took out an OS with a mobo...............................intel or nvidia chipset


the thing with my setup is i have usually 3xpartitions >> XP > vista or win2008 server > backup partition
i only lose the OS i try to boot to if something unstable >>> the rest of the data is still intact and second OS works and all my screenshots and software is fine >> not a corruption of the drive

i think BenchZoner is right......i don't see this as a software issue but i will test that..........i will just install naked systems and do RAM tests again and see what happen >> hit prediction is that i will still kill an OS

i've been using memtest (1x loop#5) last night for most of the testing but this time i didn't do it as my RAM settings were within the normal range but my CPU was vcore starved as i was booting at 5.4GHz

i've reported my issues to nvidia as well
