BSOD on First Boot, WIN7-HP

*Basic fix for everything*
Unplug, and replug in all connections (Power/Ribbons/SATA)

In my experience, It's never been the pins on the bottom of the motherboard, but that's just me.

Too many variables with windows and all drivers installed if you can't eliminate the issue otherwise.

Its not a windows 7 problem it is a pre-existing condition that reacts in a different way to win7...XP just pushed forward and locked up, 7 sees the problem and stops beforehand to prevent damage.

I booted without my 8800GT (so I had no display) and i listened to it boot into win7 with no errors, there was one error beep on startup, most likely because there was no video device detected, but it seemed to boot fine.

I went to play TF2 today and my frames were horrible, it ran fine last time I played (During the Halloween even) and now on DoD:s it keeps locking up. I think EVGA sent me a defective card when they replaced my old one with the lifetime warranty. Guess it is time to send it in again. (http://www.texasteamplayers.com/index.php?topic=67272.0)

There was a recent Windows Update that had an nforce driver packaged with it. This has caused some issues with people running nvidia cards. The common fix is to remove that update and download the latest drivers from nvidia's website. I don't think this is the case for you, though.

That issue is still around? If I remember right it was something like a nVidia chipset+nVidia GPU+digital output= no display. It took me days to work around that but that was with the beta. I don't rembmer there being an issue with the RC or higher.
