Wenn i install Win64 it exits with a bluescreen after
partitioning. I'm listing the errors i got at the
bottom of the post - although they aren't very
interresting.
I also tried gentoo - i can't install it because i
can't decrompress a tarball. At random stages of
decompression or tar -xvjpf
stage3-amd64-2005.1.tar.bz2 it quits with:
"gzip2: Data integrity error when decompressing input
file = (stdin) output file = (stdout)"
*snip*
"tar: Unexpected EOF in archive"
"tar: Unexpected EOF in archive"
"tar: Error is not recoverable exiting now."
I checked the md5s and even downloaded a fresh tarball
so the files i used were ok.
But like with the debian-installer i get a variety of
inconclusive errors.
What i'm also going to note is:
When i do:
"hdparm -tT /dev/hda" i get:
hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 {Drive Ready Seek Complete
Error}
hda: dma_intr: error = 0x84 {Drive Status Error Bad
CRC}
ide: failed opcode was unknown
four times but it then goes on with the test.
all of the above applies to my IDE and SATA drive - i
tested everything twice just to make sure.
When i tested the HDs with tools from the vendors
Seagate and Hitachi, the tools told me that really
everything was ok - Seagate even had a test for my
mobo HD controller which the controller passed.
All i know is that whatever OS i installed with
whatever kernel - i never got passed decompressing and
installing the system files. Since the HDs are
perfectly ok i'm blaming it all on the mobo which must
be faulty. Next i will update the bios - if it doesn't
help i'm contacting ASRock so i can try again with a
fresh mobo.
even more muddled

PS: thanks for all your hints - please keep them
coming - i might try some more tests when i think they
are worth it.
PPS: what i really need help with is how to locate HW
errors and make sure that the part im swapping is
actually the source of the errors
