WHAT please have you reinstalled, after the format and reinstall of the O/S
I do not need a list of everything, just a general idea will suffice.
For instance have you reinstalled from backup your personal data, for example your music, images, office files etc.
OR are we talking only about the O/S., updates, drivers etc.

Another question- I had the Realtek HD audio driver already from the Gigabyte utilities, the Nvidia driver set includes an HD audio driver- it looks like both are installed, is that a problem?

This is the ONE you have
Etron USB 3.0 Extensible Root HubEtron Technology Inc.2/25/11
1.0.0.98
and this is the latest
Etron USB 3.0 Driver OS:Windows XP 32bit,Windows XP 64bit,Windows Vista 32bit,Windows Vista 64bit,Windows 7 32bit,Windows 7 64bit 1056.47 MB2011/08/23
There have been lots of reports of Windows 7 crashing with that Etron driver., even with nothing connected.
I would update the driver from the Gigabyte site and see how that is.
Re the Nvidia, Pitstop has shown it as another reference and yes it does install the Nvidia HD Audio driver, as audio is passed over the PCI bus on the motherboard from the integrated sound to the HDMI connection of the graphics card. - that can be disabled in the Nvidia Control Panel, as I understand the sitaution. I have to be honest and say that I do not have practical experience of it.

Also, Media Center is working again after the last chkdsk, Device Manager still crashes. When I went in to event log to see the device manager crash, I noticed several errors reported at start-up as well as a warning from startup. Not sure if they are relevant or significant but I'm posting them just in case:
Failed extract of third-party root list from auto update cab at: <http://www.download....uthrootstl.cab> with error: A required certificate is not within its validity period when verifying against the current system clock or the timestamp in the signed file.

Bit 114016 was corrupted and has been corrected. This problem is likely due to faulty hardware and may continue. Transient failures such as these can be a precursor to a catastrophic failure in the storage subsystem containing this file. Please contact your hardware vendor for further assistance diagnosing the problem.

Also, it looks like the Intel INF Update Utility and Intel Management Engine Software have newer versions than I currently have... should I d/l and install those as well?
