High spec PC i7 etc ...
Synergy PC - company now gone. They built PCs with sound in mind. Has two Scusi Hdds.
I tested both hdds and both test ok.
Windows\Minidumps - nothing there so I created a folder called "Minidumps" in the windows folder.
Oddity's so far ....
Doesnt let me up or down arrow on boot choices with a USB KB but will on a PS2 KB !
(Motherboard problem?)
Swapped out DVD rom and its stopped BSOD - so perhaps thats the issue.
Running a memtest now.

Most common BSODs are memory related.
When does it exactly BSOD, at startup or are you doing something specific?
With Regards to the USB KB, check the BIOS for USB Legacy to be enabled
