@SyntaxError, thank you for this reply, but I must say, I know about those sata controller problems with the boards, that's why I have already RMAd mine and now I can't install Windows to check if everything is fine! Moreover, my BSOD is not 0x0000007B, but 0x000000CA, which I can't find nothing helpful about! I am out of ideas! I tried with only a PS2 keyboard connected - same error! Only setting under the PNP menu in BIOS is PNP System, which was NO on default. I tried it on YES - same BSOD! I wrote all the parts - all of them are necessery and nothing except the keyboard is connected so I just can't see where the PNP error is! Any other thoughts?

Here is the deal guys, please help me: When I try to install Win XP Pro here is what happens: I boot fine from the CD, but after the initial "Windows Setup" screen everytime it gives me the same BSOD stating: "Plug and Play detected an error likely caused by faulty driver" ... STOP: 0x000000CA (...) Please give me some ideas what's this all about. I'm running one HDD in IDE mode, so I don't need any SATA\RAID\SCSI drivers (F6 method). Is it software or hardware related?? I tried two different Win XP installations and it gives me the same BSOD! Everything same as before (when I had no problems), only the motherboard is changed now for the same model?
