Well, I wanted to upgrade my boot drive from a 160GB Intel to a 512 GB
M4....
Bios would not see it. I was running 1305, which has been stable for me
since i built this box in early 2011. So, I got the last one,
3602....did the flash. I also swapped out my 1TB WD data drive for a
3TB Seagate (7600rpm).
Well, I never got the boot drive swapped, because as soon as I went to
the new bios my system started crashing....this has been going on for a
couple of months now. Got on the web and found some third-party tools
that will let you flash back to an easier bios (asus didn't allow for
going back in on this board). So, I flashed back to 2001. Problem is,
it still crashes!
Have no idea what's going on. No idea what to look at either. I'm not
over clocking or anything. There is no pattern I can detect to these
crashes. System has gone up to 4 days with no crashes, but will
sometimes crash in less time. I'd be lucky if I can finish typing this
email. It always seems to crash on me when doing stuff like this, where
I can't do an auto save.
Any ideas? Maybe I should get a new mobo? Thinking of maybe a Gigabyte
this time. I'm running a 2500k. Any reason to upgrade that? I don't
know if I can wait til June for the new chips. I'm a desktop guy. Don't
really enjoy using a laptop day-after-day. Also, thinking about building
a dual boot Hackintosh....just because I'm bored with Windows an am now
really super interested in Win8.
If a new board, what board? I like to get some features on the
board...my current system has crappy usb 3.0, so I want lots of usb 3.0.
And BT support for the Hackintosh, if I decide to do that.
