    BadAxe2 - WinXP hangs on second install reboot???

    Hi All,
    I got a BadAxe2 last Friday and have spent the weekend trying to install windows with no success.

    Basically it installs ok but on loading into windows on the second install reboot the system just hangs. I can get to windows using safe mode but just not normally.

    System:
    QX6700 / E6600ES / Celeron 347
    BadAxe2 BIOS 2663
    OCZ Ti Alpha VX2 PC8000 Cas 4 / GeIL Ultra PC6400 Cas4 / GeIL Ultra PC5300 Cas3
    BFG 8800GTX / Leadtek 7800GTXs
    WD Raptors 74GB SATAII / Seagate 80GB SATAII
    750W Thermaltake Toughpower / 680W Thermaltake Truepower
    Windows XP SP2 full version / Windows XP SP2 nLite version / Windows Server 2003
    Wireless Microsoft Keyboard & mouse / PS/2 wired keyboard & PS/2 wired mouse


    I've tried:

    Flashed to 2663 BIOS

    Different RAM, VGA, HDD

    Windows Server 2003 and an nLite version of Win XP Pro SP2. Both hang in the same spot

    Setting up 1HDD on Marvell SATA port, no HDD detected in WinXP Pro SP2 install - Tried using RAID and IDE modes

    Setting up 1HDD on Intel Matrix SATA port, finishes windows install then hangs on windows loading screen - Tried using IDE, RAID, ACHI modes and F6 floppy disk drivers

    Setting up RAID0 on Marvell SATA ports, no recognition of Marvell RAID/SCSI driver floppy disk. "Disk is in unrecognisable format" or something - Tried using RAID and IDE modes

    Setting up RAID0 on Intel Matrix SATA port, finishes windows install then hangs on windows loading screen - Tried using IDE, RAID and ACHI modes

    Using kill disk to fully format the drive by writting 0 values to it.

    All variations of second SATA controller disabled and enabled.

    Booting in safe mode and installing the VGA driver and SM Bus driver.

    Increasing voltages to CPU/Chipset/RAM

    Decreasing FSB speed.

    Disabling all onboard audio/usb/thermal management options



    Any ideas? Help on resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.
