Hi
Well i got bunch of problems with this board. Let me begin with the hardware description.
put in following 4gb of ocz ram
http://www.ocztechnology.com/produ [...] al_channel
have a ati 1950pro.
put in core 2 E6550
using usb keyboard and wireless mouse (also usb)
http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/ [...] px?pid=043

sata hard drive and ide dvd burner
and finally 485W enermax psu.

Well initially i was getting stuck at welcome screen. I tracked the problem back to one of the ram stick. apparently fourth stick is not working or causing the crash. Now i dont know that if the fourth stick is bad or board just dont wanna take the four ram modules. I will find that out tonight.
With three sticks, the board has started booting. but the problem is that my keyboard and mouse dont work at all. I dont have any functionality of keyboard from welcome screen to the startup of windows.
I dont know how to check the bios version as i dont even get a chance to see the post screen.
So my questions are
- how do i get the keyboard working?
- if the fourth module of ram is ok then how do i get the motherboard to work with 4 modules?
- Where do i get the F3 version of bios? (e6550 is supported by this version of bios).
- It looks like some keyboard related problem is fixed in F4. should i use this version of bios.
- MOBO is still covered with store warranty. Should i just return it or flash it with new version of bios?
-And finally, with keyboard not working how I am going to flash MOBO with new bios?
Thanks for all the help...................
