SATA drive causes Blue screen after a while

[Newmattie]

Hi there.

In my Windows 7 Ultimate machine I have 3 drives:
1) IDE Drive, partitioned into several partitions. This contains the boot drives and drives C-J.
2) SATA drive (320Gb)
3) SATA drive (320Gb) (bot SATA drives are identical)

Motherboard is AMD KU8 (ULI M1689 chipset) - I have a full report from HWInfo if that's any help...

When I transfer data either via the network or from one drive to the SATA drive, after a short while, Windows will blue screen (usually after the same amount of data has been transferred to the SATA drive).

Now, if I do the same in safe mode, it works fine. I just managed to back up 9 CDs as Nero .NRG files and move them from my desktop (C: - IDE drive) to K: (SATA drive).

I'm at a loss where to begin troubleshooting... Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

Sorry - missed an important bit of info... The SATA drives are not connected to the onboard SATA controller, as Windows won't start up if they are! I have a SATA DVD Drive on one of the onboard channels, which works fine.

The 2 SATA drives are connected to a VIA VT6421 RAID Controller (has 3 SATA Ports and 1 IDE port - I'm using 2 of the SATA ports).

Hi,

Thanks - I think I can rule memory issues out, as it works ine in safe mode. It has to be a driver - but where to start.... :/
