Hello,
I just recently built the system in my sig and have had nothing but problems. From the very first OS install attempt its been one random problem after another. To start with it is very hit and miss when installing an OS. I have tried WinXP, Vista and Win7 and all randomly freeze during installation and if they do manage to fully install there are problems after. I originally installed Win7 on the vertex SSD drive but kept getting start-up errors and would have to do a repair with the installation cd. When it would boot properly into the os I was getting totally random freezing while using any program that accessed the internet such as Firefox, Internet Explorer 32 and 64 bit, Thunderbird, Utorrent and Tversity. I would always have to do a hard reset after the freezes. This morning I woke to find a computer that wouldn't boot so I tried unsuccessfully to do another repair. When that didn't work I tried a system restore and got a message saying the restore point was on a partition that needed to be formatted. I got mad and decided the problems were all to blame on Win7. I attempted to install Vista on a WD 1 TB drive and after a couple of crashes and freezes during installation finally got it to install. Once logged in I noticed more problems such as the control panel would not work at all. I am currently trying to reinstall with no success, the installation just keeps freezing on me and I have to hard reset. I should also mention that I cannot access the safe-boot options with either F8 or F12 and the express recovery menu F9 does not work either during boot-up. I sent a message to the Gigabyte technical service asking about this problem and they replied with "make sure you have USB Keyboard support enabled in the bios". Come on, give me a break. I waited 4 days for that reply. I'm gonna try installing the Vertex in another system and installing an os on it just to eliminate it as a problem. Anybody have any other suggestions? Is the mobo faulty? HELP!!!

Hopefully its stable and the freezing and hard resets are behind me.
