Wow that sounds good, and building ur pc cant be too hard as ive easilly swaped my motherboard on my pc - you basically need to uunconnect everything

Well, i did it and just got the BSOD, exactly what did robkellas do after he reformatted, cuz it reformats fine, and you can use the XMB until you try to do something, like play a game or usb mode, then you just get a BSOD, no RSOD

Edit: I just tried it again, and i got it to give me a RSOD, all i had to do was reformat then go to play a UMD, and right after you start it, it gives you the RSOD, i dont have a cam right now or else i would post pic, but ill tell you wat it says

It says an error in NUMEROUS languages, 12 dif languages i believe, but in english it says

"A serious error has occurred. Contact the technical support line for assistance."

i never even knew there was a red one, thats cool to know

ah! so you got it i dno why you had to do that though. also, my laptop gets a bsod when i use usb mods in the recovery mode of harleyG's custom firmware. it goes all blue and then restarts (wtf!?)

ok im pretty sure i know what this is if any of you where around when the 2.0to 1.5 downgrader after installing the 1.5 eboot you would get a BSOD and it wasnt red and if you read carefully press the circle button to repair because i think this means youre flash 1 corrupted and since flash 1 is backed up on flash0 it gets fixed and restarts(and sometimes it doesnt even give you a chance to press abutton it does it for you) well i think what this but i might be wrong
