Flounder you seem to be pretty knowledgeable with these ECS boards. So here goes my theory.
There is something bad wrong with these boards. With the errors that I am getting along with others. I'm seeing alot of win32k.sys errors on ECS boards, here and on the internet, stock and overclocked.
Everyone seems to say the same thing. It's your powersupply. Well I'm going to say bull. It's not that. I have a 430W Enermax running my motherboard and a Deer 300W running my drives and fans. 730 Watts of clean power and I still get the errors and problems I have since day one. It also seems to happen only on the XP chips which need more and cleaner power than the Duron and the Athlon.
I IS a power issue, but it's not in the PSU. There is something wrong with these boards on the power side of the house. I don't know if it's inferior caps or what, but this is something that we need to look into and wring ECS's neck about.
There are too many people having the exact same problems on DIFFERENT MODELS of ECS boards for this to be a coincidence.
