    Ya tienes la ultima revision del BIOS de tu GA-H55M-USB3 y cargados los valores predeterminados? Tambien revisa los voltages de las memorias ram, si son 1.5v o 1.65v. Y revisaste con un multimetro digital la fuente de poder que esté dentro del + - 5% en las lineas de +12v +5v +3v?

    I didn't read the whole thread, but you posted a screenshot saying you have bad sectors, a Full Hard drive wipe will fix that like 1% of the time, all the hard drive regenerator programs can fix that to a certain extent but usualy don't. Im saying get a new hard drive, I had very similiar if not the same problems as you and it actualy turned out to be the hard drive and what's interesting a damaged cord inside the SATA cable, which caused random blue screens and other problems which you wouldn't even relate to the harddrive or it's cable...

    but as I said I didn't read the whole thread so if you already replaced your hard drive and the SATA cable then sorry...

    I agree
    That is:
    "Already have the latest BIOS revision of your GA-H55M-USB3 and loaded the defaults? Also check the voltages on the RAM, if 1.5vo 1.65v. And checked with a digital multimeter the power that is within + - 5% lines +12 v +5 v +3 v?"

    I suggest again check your PSU. A program like SIW should enable you to monitor your voltages. Not 100% reliable though.

    Yeap, I've double checked memory timings and voltage, set at 1.5v.
    I have the latest BIOS revision too.

    I dont have a multimeter I'll ask those things to the technicias after all the other options are out.

    About bad sectors, This install has been made on a wiped clean HD with DISKPART and CLEAN ALL.

    Actual real bad sectors and not just software issues won't be fixed by low level formatting, becuase the drive is physicaly damaged, scratch from the head or whatever...

    If the PC from hell hasn't gone off to the workshop yet. Another idea:
    download a live linux CD/DVD. For example "linux mint" or the even much lighter "puppy linux". This will bypass the HDD and anything Windows related. See if these OSs are stable for a few hours.

    That's actualy a good idea, I know on ubuntu when you start from the CD without installing there are actualy programs preloaded that you can check the whole harddrive for real bad sectors/problems with, so probs the same with other distros of Linux but I would try Ubuntu to make sure, and then if its stable on ubuntu linux from the cd as well as no problems with the hdd are found we'll know it's somewhat Windows related, and if there is a hard drive problem you'll know for sure it needs replaced...

    How come an extended test with Western Digital Diagnosis tool came up perfectly? No problems?.

    But, can, somehow, a FUBAR Motherboard, mess up a Hard Drive?

    something wrong with the HDD SATA/IDE controler, possibly?

    Double check your SATA/IDE controller drivers to make sure you have the latest from Support Downloads webpage for make/model. If it changes, watch optional Windows Updates to see if it offers another choice.

    Have you been watching for optional driver Updates? Very important with Win7 which is the authority on its own drivers, unlike XP.
