P67 Extreme4 boot loop problem
Well, I've been all over the web and back. I guess this thread will be my last hurrah, as ASRock support has contacted me and said that they will RMA my board, about 2 minutes ago. But I figured, what the heck, I'd give anything a last shot to keep from having to RMA this dang thing...
Here is a video of the problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKQnvSoi8zA
Here are the things I have tried: 1 stick of RAM in slot 1, the other stick then in slot 1, 1 in slot 2, then the other there. Each time I have gone into bios and changed the voltage to 1.5 manually. Tried disabling PLL overvoltage, and all sorts of other settings in bios. Disconnected all USB devices except the keyboard. I picked up an SSD recently and decided to try a fresh install of Win 7 on it to see if that changed anything. It installed Windows fine, but as soon as it booted into Windows for the first time, it just rebooted right away, and then went back to this loop.
System was built at the beginning of May. I was playing the other night, then went to boot up the next day and this started happening. Nothing changed between then and now. All of the boot loop things I find on the net seem to be different than mine. Most reboot much sooner.
