Blue Screen: DRIVE_POWER_STATE_FAILURE

[gasparov]

Hi,
I've searched to solve this problem but no solution so trying to
ask...
Whenever I Halt my system i got a blue screen as subject, on Windows
KB they say it could be an Antivirus or Drivers problem....the fact is
that a similar problem comes out in Linux too( no blue screen ),
term kill shut are fine but after Power Down nothing happens....I sent
to this group because the problem came out after switching to a sata
drive ( Maxtor and power max gives non errors in any test)and heard
that my p4p800 could have few problems with that...and what about the
power supply,is it possible that this particular switch (the one that
receive the power down signal) got broken???

P.S. Even tried MemTest86 , don't thing is a discharge problem

Go to the hard disk manufacturer's web site and download their diagnostic software
respective to your hard disk. After the test, you will know if the hard disk is bad or
not..

Come on no other news?
I tried to :
- change power supply with a new 450 W one--->no results
- switching to previous bios and then coming back to last stable
one---->no results
- checking if it was an hard disk problem by starting up system selectivly
with hard disk unplugged----> no results


Things not checked:
-MotherBord
-Cpu
-Ram ( not phisically , memtest86 full comes with no errors)

THIS THING IS DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!!!

Most of all now even other computer in the same room doesn't switch off,
it is running win2000 and when i shut it down it gives no blue screen but
say " It's now safe to turn off your computer" like in old boxes

Is it a "flue"?

Problem solved switching to Gygabyte MotherBoard, now I can use my P4P800
as a nice alternative furniture

Thx everyone for helping
