I have no idea how to check the board actually. I don't own a maximus formula, never even had a chance to play with one. The only way I know is to hook everything up and run some stress tests and benchmarks with each card and maybe a different set of ram.
I really appreciate the expertise, Mysterfix, I'm actually waitin' on delivery of a new Vid Card right now!! I'll certainly give both those ideas a shot! D'Yer think that the board may be wacky, I've been reading some stuff on the forums and a few people have said that the Maximus Formula Board may have NorthBridge problems, not all boards, but some?!? Do you have a reallt good idea on how to check the board properly just to see of that could a problem contributor?!? Could it also be the "Dominator" RAM (2 2 Gig sticks) sorry, I'm still runnin' x86............
What could cause and to remedy my E8400 to POST, boot up and then hang on VGA BIOS on MY MAXIMUS FORMULA BOARD?!? It does this every time but only after a coupla' minutes, could it be the Video Card?!? I have no idea what else it could be (drivers are all up to date)
