Argh!!! It gets worse.Now windows hangs instantly after boot. Has anybody come acroos this!!!!








It's quite possible I might have gotten a dud in the first place. Also, am suspecting that my mobo ate my RAM(much like the earlier striker). When I first tested it with memtest @ default 333 FSB(1333 QDR) unliked with the RAM @ the rated 1600 7-7-7-20 1T i got 3 good passes. Now,memtest is giving errors @ the same setting.

As a last ditch effort, I will have to try the 0508 BIOS and see what happens. I already got the RMA # for the RAM from newegg.
