Thank you for the BSOD tip.

There was a problem with the [b]IdeChnDr.sys[/b] file which comes from Intel's IAA drivers. Did a quick google and the first suggestion was check the HDs for bad clusters.

We'll the culprit was bad clusters. -_- :oops:

I ran the Maxtor utility, on both HDs, and it fixed all those bad clusters.

And then I tried to run a Defrag and it went all the way to the end!!! :P

Then I also did a full av scan and it went well too. No more reboots.

And I discovered another thing: the PC components...

I get a window that says that Windows encountered a serious error. :|...

Already changed them from normal IDE cable to rounded IDE cable. And the system is unstable on both cables. ...

It was my first stop (Memtest86).


A month ago, I got a bad transfer (corrupt data) from 1 HD to another HD.

I also have a known offender, TEAPO caps on my board. But they're small and not very numerous. Could this be the culprit?...

Here's the list of capacitors:
[b]Taicon[/b]
green - 1500
black/blue - 3300
black/blue - 1500
black/blue - 100
black/gold - 1500

[b]Sanyo[/b]
green - 1000
purple - 510

I am having difficulties getting pics of the mobo up.

I tried to switch the RIMMs again and see if some are bad but it does the same problem when running Sandra (instant reboot).

Hi all,
I have an ASUS P4T-E and it's getting flaky. Some weeks the system runs fine. Other weeks, it will reboot or freeze by itself frequently. I have not run a full Diskeeper on my HDs for a while. If I do, it's a garanted reboot. It will never get through. Last month, for 2 straight days, I had to press the RESET button for the IDE devices to be properly detected. Each time it took like 5 tries just to get them to identify them on the boot up sequence. There was one day, the computer didn't wanna boot up period. Almost each day I have to press RESET at least once just to get the IDE...
