hello, perhaps this thread can help me.
Situation:
I was running win xp3 on a asus m2n-e board for the past several years. I believe the M2N-E has the nvidia series 4 chipset. The xp was installed on a sata raid 5 configured drive that was bootable. About 2 weeks ago, the machine would not boot. The LED power light on the board would not come on. After debugging memory, power supplies, etc, I decided to replace the board. I chose the M2N68-AM PLUS. I now have the BSOD problem. The machine powers up, the windows splash screen displays, the little cylon indicator goes back and forth a few times, then the BSOD happens with a 0x0000007B.
Specs:
M2N68-AM Plus
2 gig memory
Sata Raid 5 disk (same as on original machine), raid bios 9.87 displays healthy raid.
630A nvidia series chipset. ACHI does not appear to be an option in the bios.
on-board video, lan, and display
I have tried numerous times to re-install (repair) the os on the drives. no joy.
Original windows update CD does not recognize any hard drives on the computer (expected behavior)
Using nlite, i have slipstreamed new raid drivers onto an active@boot disk. I can access the partition (C:) drive, files are there, chkdsk says it's healthy.
After reviewing several hundred discussions of the problem, I discovered this thread. I have tried numerous combinations of slipstreaming drivers onto the windows cd. It will then find the drive, re-install the os, boot to the windows splash screen when complete, then BSOD with the same error. I have booted in safe mode, command line mode, with boot logging, etc. no combination seems to make a difference.
Combination of drivers attempted:
sp3, fernando_101028_mix, w/ide pnp
sp3, fernando_101028_mix, no ide
sp3, fernando_99909_custom, no ide
sp3, fernando_99909_custom, w/ide pnp
sp2, fernando_99909_custom, no ide
sp3, fernando_103046, no ide
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

@Fernando: Thank you!
My BIOS settings for the FSB are all set to 'Auto"
1. My Raid 5 is a cluster of 3 SATA drives. They were originally configured as a raid 5 cluster when I built my M2N-E machine about 3 years ago.
2. At the time I built the machine, I was getting tired of rebuilding disk drives, and thought that raid 5 would give me the easiest recoverability. Now I'm not so sure....
I'm considering purchasing an IDE Drive and copying the data and OS to it.....
