    MadTown:

    Later today I will install Vista and see how that goes.
    After that I will create a USB FDD with Win 7 64-bit on it.

    Now please correct me if I am wrong:
    1. I'll follow the steps in the "Create a usb fdd key guide" you posted in the other thread.
    2. When that is done, I'll Extract the drivers I want to pre-install and add them in a folder called "Device Drivers" on the usb fdd.

    The Drivers I think I will be adding into that folder are:
    Motherboard drivers for:
    CPU
    USB
    LAN
    Audio

    Drivers for Graphics.

    Any other drivers I should add?

    3. Boot the computer to the FDD and run the Windows installer.

    -- If I recall, when the installer launches yo uget 2 options, Upgrade or "Fresh install"

    What choice should I use if I want to manually install drivers later? And when do I do the manual isntallation of them? After that first section of the install is done and the computer boots onto the HDD windows?


    Spyknee:
    The computer wasn't per-packaged per say. I selected all the parts and the retailer put it all together. Was not deliverd with Windows either.

    So today I'll talk to them and see what they recon I should do, before I try the above.

    you don't have to reinstall vista to use the upgrade disk.
    Clean Install with a Upgrade Windows 7 Version
    use the custom install instead, and at the very least, format both HDD partitions before continuing with the install.. otherwise you have a good plan. I prefer the grub4dos method, but either will work, just make sure to format the FDD first.

    Ah, you misunderstood me.

    I was talking about installing vista just to see if the graphics works there out of the box so to speak.

    Then clean installing Win 7 if Vista shows the same errors.


    Edit:
    Was reading this thread: http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.aspx?m=586183

    Recon that my issue could be caused by a conflict between Nvidia HD Sound and RealTek onboard sound drivers?

    not a bad idea. you could try disabling the onboard sound in bios if you have that option

    At the moment I have no more freezes or crashes.

    What I did:
    1. Clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

    After install finished (In this order!):
    2. Installed the Intel INF driver for my motherboard: GA-P55-USB3 -- Did not reboot.
    3. Installed the 260.89 WHQL version of the 64 bit drivers. Chose Custom install and selected nothing but the Graphics Drivers and Clean install. -- Rebooted.
    4. Installed Onboard LAN. -- Did not reboot.

    After this I've run SC2, WoW, Futuremark Venture Benchmarks. Everything at max settings just to stress the system as much as I could.
    I.e. WoW everything set on Ultra with 1920x1080 and 8x/16x, avraged 180 FPS (with vsynch off) and 48C on the GPU.

    What I did not do:
    Install Onboard Audio drivers. I let windows use its own drivers.
    Install Nvidia HD Audio drivers. Dont need them.
    Run Windows Update. -- Might do this later, but I want to see if the system is stable for a few days without doing this.
