EP45T-DS3R Constant hanging, resetting, bad info

[chezouff]

Hey guys, i bought an EP45T-DS3R mobo recently, ive been saving up for a bit and waiting for great deals on individual components. I have

An E8400 CPU, OCZ Reaper Hpc Ram 2x1GB 1333mhz ram the cheaper CL9 edition, nVidia GTX260, 600W psu.

I had a 400GB Western Digital HD but i started getting weird errors, programs i downloaded were all corrupt, games crashed a lot, xp started not loading so i thought i had a faulty HD, the HD was a year old so i decided to upgrade and bought a new 500GB hd. I thought that solved the problem but now it seems im starting to get similar errors.

I reinstalled XP when i got the new hd, got all the newest drivers and newest bios. I tried to only set a few settings and keep it simple so i wouldnt cause the system to hang. But man this mobo seems a lot more unstable then my old 965P-Ds3 mobo.

I dont know memory settings too much, so i havnt fooled with them but i did turn off most extra performance boosting and power monitoring options. I overclocked the cpu to a modest 3.33 ghz and left it at that. I initially lowered the CPU voltage and this worked fine but when i started getting problems i put it back to stock (1.225) but this really didnt help. I'll restart and upload the settings.

If you haven't already, you should first check the way your memory is performing (or not) with memtest86.
