Hi all,
I returned from a few days away, my better half booted up, logged in to facebook and bam, BSOD. I saw the BSOD for long enough to see 'Page fault' something or other which I think might suggest a ram problem..?
Anyway, I cleared cmos to be sure that my overclock (tested thoroughly a few months ago) wasnt causing the problem. Booted up and its now asking me to either 'start normally' or do a 'repair install'.
As it doesn't see my wireless keyboard I cannot select the normal start. My question is what exactly does a 'repair install' do.. I'm guessing re-installs crucial windows files but should I try to avoid this route and find a ps2 keyboard and try to boot normally?
Gigabyte UD4P EX58
i7 920 @ 3.7GHz (now reverted to 2.66 default)
6Gb Ram PC3-10666 (1333)
