I have just bought a GA EP45 GQ6 motherboard and am experiancing some really ,really big problems with it.!.Let me start by saying I`m not an expert by any standards but have a little knowledge of componants...
I have a :-
Tagan 1100 watt power supply.
Q6600 go stepper @2.4 ghz..
8 gigabytes of DDR2 XMS2-8500C5D DOMINATOR @1066..@4 X 2 GIG Sticks
2 X 500 GIG HDD SAMSUNGS..
3 X 8800GTX`S only one in this board now..
2 X Super writemaster CDDVDROM drives.
soprano thermaltake case, no aftermarket coolers as I don`t overclock.
I fitted this great board yesterday and have had nothing but BSODS and Black screens ever since!
I have only used 1x2GIG ram stick cos I thought I might have to set the ram timings manually 5-5-5-15.ect..ect..tried that failed miserably..lol
I did a fresh install of vista 64 ultimate and tried again...after literally 15 attempts it let me install the OS without Blue screening on me..
Everytime windoze updates download the relevant updates for the OS the system restarts and just goes in to the following cycle....
Black screen...Boot failiure..(no sh*t sherlock..)..boot time scan..I assume by this it means a check disk or something OS wise!.please insert your windoze disc and restart your computer when required click next and click repair..so on..so on. follow instructions to the letter...CDDVD rom drive spins up 5 mins later decides to blues screen again....restarts itself..back to the Boot failiure screen Please insert....ect.ect..I`m at my wits end with it now and I really don`t know what to do or where to turn ..I`m hoping that someone here has the answers cos Its costing me a bloody fortune keep buying new parts..!
PLEASE HELP..!
