Thanks for the suggestion... I've tried quite a few things in the bios with no luck. Manually set the NB up to 1.45v and HT (Spp<->MCP) to 1.40. The SB on auto starts with 1.50v. Tried all the way up to 1.625v with no luck. Dropped SPP->MCP & MCP->SPP to 4x (from 5x). All spread spectrum disabled. Disabled SLI memory and Nv GPU Ex support.

With those, the farthest I've gotten was to install windows and boot it ONCE. (Not once per install... once ever. All other installs BSOD on first boot.) Amazed that it got that far, I ran HD-tach and came back with a whopping 6MB/sec for transfer speed, sequential. SIX! lol! (It's not the cable or sata port... tried different of each.) The same drive, hooked as a secondary on my machine got around 80MB/sec. Never got back into windows again after that. BSOD, on the next boot, then files missing after that.

It's one thing to be doing all of this when you OC... but seriously annoying just trying to have a functional, stock system! Oh well... a new board will straighten it out, I'm sure.
