I have tried the bios settings from here, Anandtech's suggested settings for the P5E3 and some random ones and still no go. I even tried auto on everything including the ram except for these:
vcore - 1.5v
NB - 1.6v
PLL - 1.6v
ram - 2.2v
FSBV - 1.6v
FSB - 450
Multi - 8
I am obviously missing something and since I know my chip will run at 450x8 (did it in my P35-DS3R and when I first connected this MB) I am at a lost now. I will keep playing with it over the weekend, but any suggestions please let me know.
Also, on a side note, it seems that if the PC does not boot I have to power off the PSU before it will do anything. The reset and power button stop working. Also, after doing this, I have to redo the clock to current time and re-enter my bios settings (luckily they are saved in one my profiles). I am going to try changing the battery, but it would be the first time I have ever had to swap out the bios battery in all my years of building PC's so I find that odd, but you never know.
Anyway, thank you in advance and if I figure it out I will post it for future reference.
