Okay,I need some help here.
Recently bought a new 754 motherboard for cheap. It's a ASUS K8N (the simple version,not the Deluxe one - I'd really wish to find a Deluxe one though!) and came with a Sempron 2500+ that I took out and replaced with a Athlon 64 3000+. Anyways, things were nice and neat,replaced the chipset heatsink with a big silver one from a ASRock (though I'm thinking of replacing it with a Titan GPU cooler - that one has active cooling!) and I got it to POST. However,here's where things start to come down. Yes,it will past POST fine,but when Vista SP2 boots,it will just BSOD and restart constantly. I tried tweaking the RAM settings - 5-6-5-1T,2.6V since it's a Kingston KVR stick. I tried two sticks of 128MB (a noname "AM1" one and a red Kingmax stick) and they successfully booted to the desktop without problems.
So,what can I try? I really want to use this KVR stick as it's the only 1GB DDR400 stick I have (I really feel bad for losing a 2GB DDR400 KVR stick already).
Here are the specs,if it helps:
Delux ATX-450W P4 PSU*
ASUS K8N Rev 1.01**
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Skt754
1GB Kingston KVR400X64C3A/1G DDR400 2.6V RAM
GeCube R9550GU2 Rev1.0 Radeon 9550/9600 256MB AGP8x GPU
Hitachi HTS541680J9SA00 80GB 5400RPM 2.5" SATA
Windows Vista Ultimate SP2
no DVD-ROM,everything ODD related is off a USB pendrive
*PSU was formerly a Sun Pro that eventually fried itself,and now it reborn as a recapped KME PSU. It initially had a Sunon fan after the rebuild but I replaced it due to being UNBEARABLY NOISY!!!
**motheboard is filled with 820uF Pannies everywhere except VRM low which are 1500uF,and VRM high which were 1000uF 16v KZGs - the latter (KZG),in number of three,were replaced with '06 datecode HMs (so after the plagued years)

) and left it for 3-4 hours. Tests passed fine.
