its a program that you run as a boot disk vista comes with one built in but you might have to install windows first.

Well, it blue screened on me. Read my above edited post

EDIT:

Oh, and its got rid of my RAID 1 array yet again!!! And just froze setting a new one up.

I'm getting tired of this

yerp something aint doing what its supposed to, loosen up the ram speed to 666 maybe you accidently got there 667 version instead of 800

you didnt get a beta bios did you cos they also cause hell at times

 

[Kage]

not that I know of. I did choose the latest one, but nothing said BETA.

As for getting the wrong RAM, it clearly states 800mhz on the box

 

[Rudster8161]

still crank it down might wanna catch some sleep on work on this in the morning

 

[Kage]

Wish I could, I'm working until 6

Anyway, I did set it to Auto again, and the RAM read right. It just didn't seem to when on DIMS 1 and 3 on Dual Channel. Weird...

EDIT:

Even the SATA drivers from the motherboard CD seem to be booting now

I think it was the RAM...

 

[Rudster8161]

get everyting installed and make sure everything else works, than get some RMA sticks ASAP

 

[Kage]

Well, it seems to be stable now I've set the RAM back to auto and changed the RAM sticks to DIMMs 2 and 4.

Setting up Windows with a 20,000mb space partition, and the rest for data and stuff.

are the ram sticks a kit or did you buy just two of the same item cos they wont always run in dual channel , the only way to gurantee that is to get a kit
