    Thank you for your reply. I went to the WD website but honestly im dumbfounded. I cant seem to find the drivers for it i have the product registered but these are the options i get

    WD Anywhere Backup Premium (upgrade version)
    Data Lifeguard Diagnostic for Windows
    External USB/FireWire Fat32 Formatting Utility
    WD My Book/Passport Studio FireWire driver (SAM)
    WD Logo Icon
    My Book Home Firmware Update - Mac
    My Book Home Firmware Update - PC
    WD Drive Manager (PC)
    WD Drive Manager (Mac)
    WD Macintosh +TURBO Drivers
    My Book Home Edition Software (All)
    WD Anywhere Backup Software (Windows)
    WD Anywhere Backup Software (Mac)
    and thats about it. The only thing ive downloaded from there is WD drive manager. Unless i download Back up software and a newere driver is in there. Though i doubt it.

    As far as the ATI driver I find this odd since the Video card installed is an NVIDIA Geforce gts 250. I dont get why ATI shows up in my system I doubt this motherboard has onboard graphics o.o The mother board is an ASUS M4A87TD EVO AM3 AMD 870 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard unless i didnt pay attention and this motherboard doesnt supportnvidia.

    Anymore help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

    have you tried the my book home firmware update ?

    how long has this custom build been running successfully and did it ever have an ATI card ?

    It could be a driver installed as part of the chipset package as the board is "ATi CrossFireX Ready" so make sure you have all the latst drivers from the ASUS website ?

    have you had any more crashes, if so please upload the .dmp files, and do they ever happen with the external drive disconnected ?

    Hello again thanks for the replys.

    I have yet to try the firmware update because I have read some people have had it brick their drives where they are paper weights after the update.

    The pc was running succesfully for 3 days. Like i mentioned all parts are brand new except I kept my full tower case from before. I originally bought it off of ibuypower 5 years ago and decided its time to upgrade. The only thing not upgraded is internal harddrive. So brand new partion or reformat with installation of windows 7 from windows xp. Its odd since if i would have used xp i doubt id be running into these many blue screen since everything is windows 7 compatible.

    I have never had an ATI card I have only used Geforce or nvidia last card i had before the gts was and old 6200. From what i can tell this motherboard is fairly new so the drivers off the cd are the same off the webiste except their is a bios update thats recent about 2 weeks ago. oh and the power supply is an corsair Tx650w. Pretty much i have a dvdrom, burner, main harddrive, external hardrive, and another internal harddrive that I dont use because im out of parallel connections so im going to upgrade my dvd drives to sata soon.

    Apart from the basic crashes that crash the system after 30 min after boot there was a new one today where it didnt make it past the windows boot screen and this is the dump file it gave me.

    can you force a bluescreen with the external drive disconnected ?

    also try removing all but one sticks of ram and see if you can force a bluescreen crash ?

    the latest .dmp file appears to be corrupted, which can often happen during the crash, but it does suggest your sound driver viahduaa.sys was responsible ?

    over the seven .dmp's you have provided the main ntkernel is crashing for a variety of reasons ranging from MEMORY_MANAGEMENT 0x1a to PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA 0x50 to SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION 0x3b ..................

    at this point Ram timings or voltages power supply or a hardware device could well be the cause so please try the first two suggestions and when i get more time I will look over the files in griffs logs :)

    Argh i was just writing a response when it crashed trying to install adobe acrobat @_@

    Anyway I was reading my manual and i cant seem to find the memory module that i bought or came with the package under the supported memory list. I even went to their website and downloaded the latest QVL and still cant find it on the list. What is odd is the motherboard has a mem ok feature where you hold it down it reboots and scans the memory. After that it saves settings to the bios. So far everything is detected ok.

    In regards to the western digital external hd whats interesting about that is on xp when i had it the software it came with would always freeze to the point i had to end the process. After that the hd would still run though i wonder if on windows 7 its the same thing but it crashes the system? might be a thought.

    Im pretty sure i plugged in all the cables properly as i followed the layout from old mother board. The only part i was iffy was on the usb controller connections and the system panel connector but i figured black always means ground no matter the electronic equipment so i went with that.

    Heres the bsod dump

    Thanks again for your help. I will go ahead and do the ram process. So you want me to pull all the ram out and boot it with just one? to see if it crashes o.o I actually just ordered a SSD not saying it might help it but I need faster boot times and im planning on also buying a new tower. The strangest thing i turned it on today and wouldnt let me log in kept bsod'ing i turned off external HD and it booted the pc made two beeping sounds. Sorry for the late responses. Theres beend alot of thunderstorms here ins sunny california so power up and down.

    i think i just found a breakthrough . I installed my ssd and reconnected everything . Well after i booted my pc i forgot i had my usb drive with memtest86 on it so with i hit enter to run win 7 installation cd mem ran instead. Whats odd is last time ran it it found nothing but this time. its found 305920 errors. Iths passed 2 tests and is currently on the 8th test as i write this. So am i to assume memory is defective. I haven't installed win 7 on ssd since its been 5 hours and tests still running.

    I recommend burn to CD (using an ISO burner) & run from boot memtest86+ for at least 5 passes, please move the sticks singly and together between slots to verify motherboard ram slots work as well as the ram sticks and let us know how it goes
