    So I got a new computer:

    Intel i7 960
    EVGA Geforce 560 ti
    Corsair XMS3 8gb (2x4gb)
    Sabertooth X58 systemboard
    2tb Seagate 6gb/sec HDD
    1.5 WD 3gb/sec HDD
    Windows 7 Ultimate

    When I had my previous computer I decided to back up important files (about 200gb) from the 1.5tb drive to the 2tb drive, which worked fine. I then figured that Windows would prolly run faster on the 6gb/sec 2tb drive, so I installed Windows on the 2tb drive, thinking I would just move the stuff from the 1.5tb drive after. Everything went well, installed drivers, and went to transfer files. File transfer gets about 25% into it and then BSOD with a Kernel-power 41 error. My friend said I should try deleting the old windows folder from the 1.5tb drive before moving the files, but I'm running into a ton of access denied, and permission errors.

    I stressed my computer out like crazy running games on full graphics settings, and looked at the heat on each component, but have found no problems. The only time this happens is with large file transfers. Transferring 5gb files seems to work fine.

    Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? I could just transfer everything in smaller chunks, but then later down the road if I have to move large files again I'm pretty sure it will happen again.

    Please help!

    If you have ati high definition audio and a high definition audio(generic) disable it. and re-boot, or three high def audio but two the same disable one of the same and re-boot.

    Since I don't have any ATI devices, there's only the high definition audio option in my on board devices in the bios, unless there's somewhere else I should look. I haven't have problems with ANY other part of my computer other than transferring large files between hard drives

    "I stressed my computer out like crazy running games on full graphics settings, and looked at the heat on each component, but have found no problems. The only time this happens is with large file transfers. Transferring 5gb files seems to work fine."

    In that case, set the system to transfer a couple hundred GB, and monitor temperatures like that. The first place to check is the southbridge chip...as this is doing most of the work in a file transfer...and Asus always cuts corners on cooling them, but they really did a terrible job on that board. It appears that they sent the engineers home and had an artist design the cooler because it looks very trendy and neat, and it doesn't have the surface area to cool a 486dx4, let alone a modern southbridge.
