I installed 2 SATA DVD Drives. During certain operations, most ly when one of the drives open, I get a Blue Screen and a reboot.
The blue screen appears with the error "driver IRQL not less than or equal to" and it was caused by nvgts.sys which is the nVidia SATA "Performance" driver.
nVidia has offered no sulution or I have not been able to weave my way through their site to find the magic button.
Ok, I have the same problem now myself. I had one Samsung SATA DVD in a EVGA 680i board, worked fine. Upgraded to the EVGA 780i board, added another Samsung DVD burner, and now I get the same blue screen, usually when I go to My Computer or try to do something with the DVD. Latest drivers on board, I am at a loss here as to what is happening.

Try removing the last piece of hardware you installed and try to re-create a blue screen. Do this until you can no longer get the blue screen. Try all possible combinations of hardware you have removed to find the device that triggers a blue screen... Then update the drivers (and firmware if possible) for the device causing the system to crash.
Ok, this seems to be a known major problem with the 780i nVidia boards, or at least the EVGA version. I found this at EVGA forums.

I did install the Media Shield part of the drivers, stupid me. Looks like I will have to wipe the drive, use a IDE DVD drive and re-install Windows and NOT install the Media Shield.
Why the heck nVidia and EVGA can't make SATA DVD's play nice on their board is beyond me, especially for all the money I spent on a "top of the line" board.
