I am not seeing a physical blue screen, however the error noted in the event logs literally says BlueScreen.
The shutdowns literally throw the exact same errors as when I pull the power cable from the back of the computer and plug it back in--which I tried once just to see, so I am leaning toward the motherboard right now anyway.
I am going to download an Unbuntu mem test ISO at the recommendation of a friend and make sure that my memory is "good".
I am also going to test out the CPU fully tomorrow.
I am calling Intel tomorrow to see if the sister system that loses time can be "fixed". If I can get that resolved, then I will just upgrade my motherboard to the same revision as the other system. Since that is the only difference 402 versus 404 DP45SG revison I should be able to get my primary system up and running by at least changing out the motherboard if the memory and CPU test out okay.
hope you get it sorted, because i think i am a step further on with mine, looks like its my dvb-t tuner card thats causing the hibernate lockup., since removing it, i can sleep/hibernate neatly 100% of the time, and I bet it i removed all traces of its drivers, it may be 100%, only issue with that I have is I never installed the drivers, win7 did from the update site, so maybe the update site's drivers are not 100% tested, theres a worry....
Sometimes you can use the event viewer to find which manufacturer's product is involved. Whether that's the board, chipset, even an addon device that often will point to the source of the problem. Since you are not seeing any error codes that seems the best place to look for a clue.
I found a forum on the Intel site with 8+ pages of other users with DP45SG boards having reboot problems.
Me specific memory has not been tested so I am changing that out next...
Sounds like a common problem with that model board's chipset if it's not the particular memory used. If the board runs better with standard memory and you went with a performance memory instead you may not any faults with it. Or you might have to adjust the dram timings.
My memory is Kingston, but the chips are
DDR3 1333 2048MB ELPIDA J1108BABG-DJ-E (1333-9-9-9-24)
Which may be Apacer 78.A1GC6.421?
Any suggestion?
Intel asked me to change out the memory...
I have been running the Kingston memorry at 1.75v and windows has stopped rebooting constantly. Intel said that was not a problem, so clearly it was not a Windows 7 issue.
hrumph!
