Anybody have any "quick fixes" to make this motherboard stable? It will boot if I clear the cmos but if I try to change any setting in the bios it will not boot.

Re: ep 45 extreme T
Let me start off by writing that this is the fifth gigabyte board I have purchased for a system build. I have really liked the first four. The Gigabyte EP-45T Extreme is an extreme failure of design. It sometimes will not boot with fail-safe defaults loaded and certainly will not load with optimized defaults loaded. The processor and ram are from the QVL. I understand the fact that this is an enthusist board but it does not give Gigabyte the right to sell a piece of equipment without stating the fact that it may not work at all. I love overclocking and pushing components as far as they will function but I have not been able to overclock at all. If I load fail safe defaults and happen to boot my 3GHZ processor will run at 2.66GHZ. Then I go into the bios and change anything it will not boot. By that I mean I change the display setting from PCI to PEG and it will not boot. I didnt change anything else. THIS BOARD IS CRAP!!!
