I recently bought this board to replace a very buggy 780i, which to my surprise has been awesome. Runs stable in Windows Vista 64, games well, seemed to overclock well... but I get this "double boot" where the computer will activate the monitor and I see the POST screen, but it stops where it would otherwise count the RAM and shuts down for about 2 seconds, then boots up like nothing happened...
Twice it has reverted back to stock settings and when I open up the MIT a message says something to the effect that it didnt like the voltage.
Overclocking aside it seems to do the double boot even with all the stock settings...
My Setup:
GA-EP43-DS3L motherboard...obviously
Intel E8400 3.0 ghz
4x1gb Crucial Ballistix DDR 800
Sapphire 4870x2
Creative X-FI ztremegamer
Corsair HX-1000 watt PSU
Oh and it has the original F04 bios... I noticed there is only a windows version of the update... no image to burn for DOS boot? Is this a RAM issue because once this thing boots up even with the overclock it runs superb... no crashes or hiccups.... help? For the record I am at stock settings and this issue still persists.
