Hi guys,
I'm hoping someone can give me a hand here:
I just got the following from newegg

Asus A8nSLI Premium
AMD 4800+
Mushkin memory http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820146397
WD SATA 3.0 GB 250GB disks
OCZ powersupply http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817711002
EVGA 7800GTX http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130254

I enabled the NV raid and I'm booting off it( used the F6 driver install at the xp setup)

I haven't OC'd or done anything besides installing the system.
I keep getting this stop error on a blue screen of death.

Is it the memory chips? I had trouble with them working in the first place. They would not work in the blue slots, I had to put them in Black slots, now the BIOS sees them and reports them as available.
The Asus manual lists only DDR400 as compatible. is this the case?

Thanks
 
I would check the memory like suggested and make sure all timing/power settings are correct and if all that is fine I would reinstall XP.
 
Thanks guys,
I'm running the memory test right now, it's gonna take a while. so far no errors.

2 questions:
1- as far as the timing/power settings, Can i just leave everything at the default level? I don't really know what to change to what.
2- NVRAID, I'm really starting to suspect this driver. Thinking back on the intial install, I remember it gave me a lot of trouble when I hit F6 to install the driver. Add to that, the ASUS manual was wrong about the location of the driver, also that CD that came with the MB wouldn't let me make the driver disk unless it was booted on THAT motherboard. Catch 22. I called support and they were very bad.
Maybe I should try the other silicon something RAID they had on it.

Cheers
