GA-K8NXP-SLI Problems

[Chuck]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.gigabyte (More info?)

I recently built a new system with the following specs:
Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-SLI Nforce4 board
Leadtek WInfast 6800GT 256mb ram PciExpress Video card
1Gig Geil ultra PC3200
Western Digital 36gb Raptor 10000rpm hard drive
Maxtor Ultra16 300gb Harddrive
Antec True Control 550 watt power supply
SoundBlaster Audigy 2 soundcard
System booted up first time and ran fine during WinXP install and driver
and software installation. But now it crashes randomly completly
rebooting itself(blue screen then reboots)Blue screen goes very quickly
and does not relate to hardware problem as far as I can tell. Ihave
tried different ram including Corsair and Kingston no difference.
Removed hard drives and reinstalled Windows to no avail.Installed both
reference drivers and Gigabyte drivers. The computer can not sit for to
long of a period before crashing and often crashes during games and when
I run Nortons virus scan. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank You
Chuck

Go to control panel, system, advanced tab, startup & recovery settings -
uncheck the 'automatically restart' box in the system failure section.

This will give you chance to read the failure code, chances are it's a bad
hardware driver.
