Yep, i finally got it XD. Specs are:

Q6600 ( G0 Woot)
Zalman 9700 cpu cooler
Abit IP-35 pro
G.Skill 4GB (2gbx2) dual channel ddr2-800 (5-5-5-15)
Evga 8800gts Superclocked 320mbs
CoolerMaster Stacker 832
Enermax Infiniti 720w Psu
Segate barracuda 7200.10 320gb sata2
a sata dvd writer (LG)
Razer Death Adder
Saitek Eclipse keyboard
LG 22" widescreen L226WTQ
Creative Inspire t610 (5.1 surround sound)


Ok , now here;s the deal. I have Windows Vista (64 bit) and Windows XP (32bit) dual booting. ( I partitioned the hard disk). I installed the pc and have been using it for a week with an old ps2 keyboard. WHen i replaced that with the saitek this occured:
I could acess bios using the saitek but when windows boot managers comes up on screen it wouldnt allow me to choose which os i would like to boot (the keyboard would become unresponsive). Any Ideas to fix this problem? Im geting tired of pluging in my old ps2 keyboard when i boot up the pc.

Second Problem : Sometimes when windows xp is loading it gives me a bluescreen for like a fraction of a sec and then restarts. It did this on me 3 times. What do you think is wrong? I ran memtest for 6 hours and no errors were found.

Third problem : Intel TAT doesnt work. Also when i tried installing core temp my pc reboots. Everytime i click the installer for core temp pc switches off and restarts. Why is this hapening? What program should i use to monitor temps for my cores?

Fourth problem: When i was setting up the Zalman cooler i couldnt secure the second metal latch (the one with screws) in place. I tried and tried but it was all in vain so i gave up. Do you think i should keep trying and somehow attach it or is one enough?


Please [H]elp :confused::(


PS> I promise to post tonnes of p0rn i mean images of my computer :)
 
First Problem:
Go into the BIOs and enable support for USB keyboards. In fact enable support for any keyboard type in the BIOS if you can

Second Problem:
When you finally boot into XP or Vista, disable restart after system failure. To do this in XP, right click on My Computer, go to Advanced, select Settings under Startup and Recovery. Uncheck the box for restart.

Now when the BSOD occurs, it won't restart automatically. Now you can write down the STOP and error messages and search for those messages online. Or post it here.

Third Problem:
There is no installer for CoreTemp. It's just an self contained program. Try SpeedFan to monitor your CPU temps.

Fourth Problem
Not too familiar with the Zalman so can't help you there.

Did you run Memtest+ on each stick of RAM separately?
 
Oh and if you want to completely rule out the RAM, run Memtest+ on each stick of RAM for 24 hours.
 
Your better first running Memtest86+ on both sticks together just to prove they work together.
Only if you get errors do you want to run each stick separately to find out if you have a bad one.

I use "Core Temp 0.95.4" to monitor the CPU core temps.
Its a pain to get to work under Vista but possible.

Luck ......... :D
