WD Raptor 150gig Problem

[.:dhry:. SiroVa]

Just got one of these babies, plus the special WD cable.

Installs windows fine, boots it all up nice.

Go to install my Nvidia Nforce Mobo drivers (5.11) and I get a quick flash of a blue screen of death and the HD shuts down (I can hear it spinning down) and the screen goes black.

Upon restart windows does not load at all, cant get it into safe mode, or repair or anything.

So I reinstall windows, same thing happens again.

Whatcha reckon guys?

MSI Neo2 Plat mobo
AMD 3500 CPU
2x512mb Crucial Ballistix DDR400

Latest BIOS etc

Thanks gents.

With the Nforce3 Chipset, the latest version is 5.11 which I tried.

It gives me 5 drivers to install:

Upon installing the 2nd driver (SM Bus) the crash occured. (Do I really need that? I know its got somthing to do with an intel chip?)

There is no way for me to get to that point again without formatting and putting windows on again. Which takes a heck of a lot of time and I couldnt really be bothered with it.

I guess all I need is the Audio and Ethernet, I think anyway.

Overclockers support have given me a WesternDigital utility to try out:

So I'm going to run that test, then try re installing windows (again ) and just install the Audio and Ethernet.

If it still fails ill try putting the SATA1 Jumper on.

If it still fails, I guess ill have to leave it as a backup drive until I get my new mobo.

Comments appreciated.
