Hi all and first off, thanks for any assistance/ideas.. K, here`s my basic specs all new, except for hard drives, I`ve got a few options for HDD`s but for the purpose of initial startup I`m using either a Maxtor ata133 or an older Quantum Fireball - Asus P5WD2 (Premium) - e-GeForce 8600 GTS (only 1 so no SLI config. issues yet) - 2GB Crucial Ballistix DDR2 PC2-5300 Now for the problem.. I can boot and run from a Windows P.E. CD but everytime I try to either boot from a previous or install XP onto a new hard drive I get the BSOD with the following errors 0x0000007B (0xF78DA63, 0XC0000034, 0X00000000) Ideas or suggestions??
