Hi all,
I recently installed an Asus P5N32E sli Plus board to replace the Gigabyte EP54-UD3LR board (GFX card & aftermarket cooler obscuring 2 sata ports) so got a working Asus cheap, now I had initial probs just getting it to POST but I sorted that.
Now I was expecting windows (7 Ultimate x64) to throw a wobbler but not quite like it it has!
When I first tried to boot it up it got to the starting windows screen and then after a few seconds BSOD'd but went too fast for me to see the error so I thought sod it I'll do a clean install and it did exactly the same thing but this time I got a chance to see the error.
The message was something like irq less than equal and then had a reference to storport.sys, now after many hours of interweb searching it seems to be a common prob with Nvidia chipsets (not had this before despite installing win 7 on multiple Nvidia systems).
I have seen various work arounds like running less than 4gb when installing, then install the latest nforce drivers and then it will be fine but none of them have worked.
I have tried multiple dimms and all are known good & flashed the bios to the latest version and to be honest it's really bugging me now!
my system spec is:
Q6600
8GB DDR2
Asus P5N32E-sli Plus
60gb OCZ Vertex 2E OS drive
2 x 1TB Samsung Spinpoint F3's in Raid 0
Nvidia GTX 465 with aftermarket cooler
Domino ALC cpu cooler
Coolermaster 620W PSU
If anyone has any ideas how to get this working I'd be very very grateful!
Regards
Paul
