Hi,
I have this board that I thought I could use to make a Core 2 Duo rig for my father, I've never tested it thoroughly but I did use it to test some graphics cards, CPUs and memory sticks.
So the other day I plugged in a hard drive with a Windows 7 installation on it, I was not really surprised it didn't work except instead of the usual reboot, I got a BSOD with the "MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION" error.
I tried installing Windows 7, and it wouldn't get past the setup loading screen, it would end up with the same error...
It doesn't matter if it's plugged in IDE or SATA.
I've changed most of the OST caps (none showing obvious signs of failure) that were on it with Panasonic caps, I haven't changed the three Sanyo caps next to the CPU but I doubt it would be useful, and there are nine solid caps around the CPU.
There are still a few small 6.3V 470uF OST caps but none of them are showing signs of failure.
I've also tried reflowing the nForce 610i chipset.
Should I change the smaller caps too ? There are two near the ATX plug and the DDR2 slots, a bunch of 16V 220uF and 16V 100uF around the two PCI slots near the Realtek ALC888 sound chip.
Thanks
