    Blue Screen of Death, Detriment and Despair

    I have been desperately trying to finish Beatbox360, both in its final 4K and HD form, but alas, I have been thwarted by the Blue Screen of Death!



    It all started when one of my striped SATA drives died, forcing me to frantically backup my data and switch to a safer RAID array setup. I knew that I would have to cope with losing some serious read/write speed, so I decided to switch from Vista back to XP in order to regain some system resources.

    Unfortunately, and to my surprise, every attempted installation of XP on my system results in the above BSOD! Who would have thought that Vista would be more stable than XP? Not I, said the cat. Not I...

      I have finally overcome the BSOD! Aside from a few hiccups (wireless keyboard not working in spite of working wireless mouse), I should be back online in full production mode by next weekend. Hopefully the next project update for Beatbox360 will be a full HD release!
