I have the GA-MA78GM-S2H mobo with an AMD Athlon 5600+, 2x2GB of OCZ DDR2 800.
I am having trouble installing any OS. In WINXP, I get to the point where there is 39 minutes and in the middle of installing devices, it reboots. Tried with LINUX and the same... I can't get it past loading the kernel.
I have tried using only one stick but nothing. I thought maybe I had bad memory, but it passed memtest. So I thought it may be compability issues and I got a new memory stick by Kingston and used it (passed memtest) but again, no results. I've even been using an IDE HD and a SATA HD to load the OS.
After reading into this I think it may be something to do with voltage and timing? I'm a little new at shorting out computer hardware and didn't know what options I may have, settings that may need to be changed, or reference material on how to change things...
Any advice is appreciated.
