No, I'm getting different BSoD (irql not less or equal) and when I try to install Windows 7 I can't get past the "loading windows" screen on boot up or it'll reset itself after hanging on the screen too long.

I've tried unplugging every drive and double checking my pin settings are set correctly.  I don't know what to do or what it could be.

It's boring and quiet at my house.   Cry

Ann Arbor itself is great.  It's a beautiful city!  Unfortunately, I'm here for work, but the wonderful travel system booked my hotel at the Detroit Metro airport.  As such, I've been commuting between downtown Ann Arbor and Detroit, which really sucks.

Moreover, I don't have a GPS, so I can't really go exploring.  I got so fed up with it that I ordered a GPS from Amazon on Tuesday so this won't happen again.  It should be here in time for Mere and I to head to Cleveland this weekend!

How are you getting a different BSoD with a different disk?

Ya, no clue.  I'm going to have to flash the BIOS and hope that works and then install Windows 7.  I really need to just scrap it all and rebuild.

Broke out Cezar 1.0 aka...laptop version just to get online.  I haven't touched this computer in literally 5 years.

It's soooo slugish.  Res. is maxed out at 1024x768.  At least the internet works for the most part so I'm able to do simple things for now.

Wow.  I go crazy when I get stuck with a lapper for a week while traveling, I couldn't imagine being stuck with that beast quasi-permanently.  Upgrade time!

Jon Mong = Briney's step-dad.

Also, shortly after writing that, he gave me a call.  We're ordering parts this Sat.!!!

I thought that sounded familiar.  I would've gotten "Jon."

Going to be getting a quad core processor (with Windows 7 64 bit it'll look like 8 processors), a gigawat power supply, a hydra board for the ability to add different brands of graphics cards (I'm going to get a top of the line ATI g.c. probably and throw in my old g.c. until a better one comes out and switch out or keep adding.  A new case and new hard drives (I might have to borrow Briney's IDE controller card to get my info off the other drives I have), as much RAM as I can get, and I'm thinking of RAIDing my drives.  Nothing specific yet, but I'll post my supplies after Sat. when I head back to TR to order them with Jon.

Oh, also for my Windows drive I'm getting a solid state drive, which with Windows 7 uses a process that will clean up the drive when the system is idle rather than with other OS's that do it whenever - thus slowing down the reason to have a SSD.  I'm kind of excited to play test that out, I've been reading articles from PC Mag and other online reviews and they're missing a full review by not benchmarking a Windows 7 rig with the typical Vista machines they run.  But some of the reviews are good.  So ya, that'll be my Windows drive like I had my previous system and use two other high end internals for games and videos.  I have an external for storage/backup of things I don't generally access all the time and another one strictly for downloading and ripping/burning.
