Re: GA-MA78GM-S2H (rev 1.1) doesn't allow dual-channel
I'm back. :( Should I create a new thread for this?
FYI, there isn't really a question here, just an experience, so feel free to skim.
Yesterday, I got a BSOD with KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR. This support article says it's an issue with SB700 and fixed in SP1. I didn't know that until now, so I hibernated last night.
Today, I resumed from hibernation, and got a BSOD with KERNEL_STACK_INPAGE_ERROR.
After rebooting that, I got to the Vista boot progress bar (with green vertical lines). I assume it was running autochk. After a while, got BSOD with UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME.
Rebooted and selected Safe Mode with Command Line. BSOD with UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME.
I used the DVD's Startup Repair menu to get a command prompt and run chkdsk C: /f /r. It spat out "The type of the file system is NTFS." and nothing else. After a few minutes (5-10?), it finally said it couldn't lock the drive, did I want to dismount (No), did I want to check on restart (Yes). Restarting...
It restarted--I walked away to whinge--when I came back, Vista was up. I was able to install SP1 and subsequent updates. I inserted the GeForce 7300 LE video card (for its S-Video output) and my Hauppauge WinTV 150 card. On boot, Vista installed drivers for them.
So far, so good. I'm going to be nervous about the BSODs until a week passes without seeing them again though.
