I woke to a BSOD this morning - it's a hard drive error (STOP 0x7b: http://aumha.org/a/stop.php#0x7b )

The system will boot to the Windows loading screen and then crash. Problem is, I'm also having problems with the mobo recognizing the USB keyboard.

Arrrrrgggghhhhh!!!! sad.gif sad.gif sad.gif

Well, it took me all this time to figure this out - and to fix it. Here's the links:

The error left very few traces on the system - no dump files, and no specific information in the Event Viewer. BUT, sorting the errors in Event Viewer by date showed me at least 5 errors installing this update just prior to the NTFS errors that caused the crash (yet there were no previous NTFS errors).

I was suspecting the SATA/RAID drivers, and tried replacing them without success. I wasn't able to boot into Vista in normal or SafeMode without the error - but setting the mobo back to "failsafe" values and several attempts at a restore finally let me back in.

The culprit was KB925902 - does this look familiar?:

application_executable_name - Illegal System DLL Relocation
The system DLL user32.dll was relocated in memory. The application will not run properly. The relocation occurred because the DLL C:\Windows\System32\Hhctrl.ocx occupied an address range reserved for Windows system DLLs. The vendor supplying the DLL should be contacted for a new DLL.
Yes, I do have RealTeck audio built into the mobo! sad.gif

As usual, sending the report to MS didn't give me any results either - so for now that update will remain uninstalled! I'm thinking of disabling the sound until I get around to getting a new sound card. Anyone know a good one that has Vista drivers?
