So I've installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit on my Gigabyte GA-p55-ud4dp motherboard with a core i7 860
I have a
VelociRaptor 300Gb
Soundblaster XiFi (PCI)
8GB GSKILL RipJaws F3-16000FL9D-4GBRH PC3-16000
Gigabyte ATI HD-4850 Video Card in the PEG slot
The computer works perfectly and is completely stable in all my burn in tests (memtest86+, OCCT, superpi, etc)
When I shutdown the computer at night, the next morning it BSOD everytime it tries to load Windows. Safe Mode does not work. All the drivers load fine and crashes after the last driver says loaded.
After it starts to BSOD. If I just restart the system, same thing happens. I can't get past boot until I actually switch the whole computer's power off via the PSU and then restart.
What is strange is that if try and reproduce it by shutting down and then boot after a few seconds, nothing happens and it boots normally. If I shutdown, go away for a few hours, then boot, I get a BSOD everytime.
This has lead me to look at a bios/hardware issue.
I've tried numerous bios adjustments without luck.
I've flashed the bios to F4R and now F4T.
I'm stumped at this point.
The system is completely stable otherwise. No overclocking.
