Well, whatever settings it deems as stock just hang the pc. I'm guessing that it undervolts by ram too much and makes it not happy. All I get is a black screen, no post beeps or anything. This has even happened to me once or twice on a windows restart without changing any settings. To get around this I end up having to put an old stick of value ram I have laying around in and that lets me get into the bios and adjust memory voltages to 2.3 or so. Then I can turn it off, put the team ram back and get into the bios again. Sometimes it requires a cmos reset and sometimes it doesn't.

Do you think that switching to Bios 1002 will help this? Or should I look for a different set of ram that will run with less volts?
My board did that as well with my Lanfest Crucial Ballistix DDr2 800 2.2v Micron d9 chips. It is due to the default memory voltage 1.8v being too low for some chip. I also had to do the cheap ram trick. I recently moved to Transcend Axe ram which is also micron D9 DDR1200 2.2v ram and for some reason it is fine and will boot at 1.8v during recovery. Here is the ram it works great http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820208343
