I've been having a multitude of problems/issues with this new build had 4 items RMA'd and even sent the Mobo back to manuf and they said the problem was a bad CPU chipset....
here's what i've got and i cannot for the life of me even try to install any of the following: Win XP Pro 32bit, Vista Business 32bit, 7 64bit.
All freeze trying to install and give me BSOD, and restart, and more BSOD.
Components include:
EVGA 01G-P3-N959-TR GeForce 9500 GT 1GB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3R LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard
Intel Core2 Quad Q9400 2.66GHz LGA 775 95W Quad-Core Processor Model BX80580Q9400
Sony Optiarc 24X DVD/CD Rewritable Drive Black SATA Model AD-7240S-0B - OEM
Western Digital Caviar Black WD6401AALS 640GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
CORSAIR XMS2 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X4096-8500C5C G - Retail
I've researched the hell out of the components and to me, they all seem compatable with eachother. So why, with a fixed board and working components am I STILL not able to install any Windows OS??????
BTW, since I cannot load an OS it wont read any other CD, i.e. Gigabyte mobo cd. Additionally, the BIOS is updated at F11.
