I built a new system last night.
Gigabyte GA-MA770-UD3 (Rev. 1.0)
AMD Athlon X2 7850 Black Edition Kuma 2.8GHz Socket AM2+
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (Dual Channel)
BFG Tech LS SERIES LS-550 550W
EVGA 512-P3-N871-AR GeForce 9800 GTX+ 512MB 256-bit
I am using two older SATA 1.5GBs drives. One has Windows XP SP3 and Ubuntu 9 in a dual-boot configuration. The other drive is NTFS formatted and is used for general storage.
Everything was installed without issue and the system POSTed on first boot. Temps looked good (27C for system and 32C for CPU).
I tried to boot into Windows from the GRUB menu so I could install the new motherboard and video drivers. The system produced a BSOD while booting. I rebooted and attempted to boot into Ubuntu. The system booted Ubuntu quickly but it wasn't able to establish a network connection due to the new network controller. I was able to mount my Windows XP partition and view/use files in the partition within Linux.
I believe there is a fix for this BSOD problem for new Windows XP installations (http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/Motherboard/Driver_Model.aspx?ProductID=2982&ost=xp#anchor_os) but is there a fix for systems with previously existing Windows XP installations?
I would like to resolve this problem without having to reinstall Windows or Ubuntu (I haven't backed up in a while )
Thanks guys and gals!
