Hi All this is my first post, I have search for answers but noone is having the same dramas as me.
Just got a brand new set up and put it together (see my sig) and the only time it booted fine was the first time, loaded bindows vista on it and started testing, then the BSOD's started. I have later duscovered that there is infact 1 dead ram stick, so I ditched both XMS and put in some known good ram 2 X 1gb kingston 533mhz DDR2, and it wont even boot windows. I put the one good stick of XMS2 in and it boots but then randomly will switch off suddenly with no BSOD and or resets with no BSOD. Temps apper to be normal, 40ish on MB and CPU is 30ish IDLE 44 under Prime 95. I have tried all BIOS versions as obviously F5 Doesnt support Wolfdale, however it seemed to run the most stable?? First post was @ 2.66Ghz.
Now getting even deeper, Ive tried a fresh install with the known good ram, and it will stop while expanding the files sometimes @ 20% sometimes 90%, and most recently I have noticed that the HDD seems to spool down and back up again serveral times before the error comes up. I cant remember exactly what it says but its something along the lines of cant find files. Tried multiply HDD's Cables and SATA ports. Sometimes even in the BIOS it doesnt detect my Drives and has even showed my DVD at a different port than what it is in. The most worrying thing that has happened is it has even switched off while I was in the BIOS checking settings, not changing just looking
I have Tried Multiply PSU, and another key point is that the First PSU I was using with this system was a Thermaltake 550watt and it was good and going strong until I had it in and on one of the random switch off's it umm never turned back on, I have tried it in another pc and yeah its pretty much dead, it will flick on for a split second and off again. Anyway thats RMA'd anyway.
I really just need to know, A) Have I got a dead board? B) Have I just got a plain crap board?? I have read a lot of problems with this board C) Is there any settings like maybe uppin the FBS V's a bit or something, I just wanna get this darn thing to work Stock, let along worry about overclocking.
Oh By the way my Motherboard Revision is 1.3
Thanks In Advance for any Help and comments. I know this is the place where I will find some answers.
