bad news first i guess.. i have been riddles with BSODs all day, actually for the past few days.. but worse today than any other.. thoguht it may be the memory i replaced the old stuff with but after 3 hours of memtest86 and no errors its not a memory issue. in the process of moving things around and seeing if it was my configuration (internal of the computer) thatw as the problem, my 2 year old daughter came over and hit the power button and powered on ym computer while int he middle of pulling my gpu, after completely dismantling my computer to look for burn marks on anything, and 2 hours of it not booting at all, i finally have it up and running, unfortionately, as soon as it actually has to think, it BSODs on me. as soon as i try to boot up the vbox to mess with the source, it BSODs, anytime the cpu, memory, chipset is under any stress.. it BSODs. so while im not done with the project and have every intention of completing it, im not going to be able to move further until i get these issues sorted out. i thank you all being patient and offering ur assistance in testing this, but unfortionately, i have no ETA at this time. sorry guys.
