Well I found another reason why I could have been getting those bluescreens. I had to physically take out my memory and exchange it at the place I bought it from for two other sticks of Samsung brand (I had kingston brand) 512 MB (each) 333mhz. That seems to have corrected this problem entirely. It has been MONTHS and not another bluescreen! It just seems that this motherboard is VERY PICKY about the kind of memory you use. I was told by the guy at the store I exchanged mine at, that some people who had that model of motherboard (Asus A7N8X Deluxe) had to come back and exchange it two or three TIMES before they ever got their MB stable. But it seems that when you do finally get the right two sticks of memory (exact size and brand) that you don't have any more problems....even when you use dual channel. Mine is going fantastic. Hope this helps.
