Thanks to the people that responded to my question.

To answer, I have disabled everything that I could, including the hyperpath, etc. I hae also tried core voltages up to 1.5 with no luck. I did notice that the board does not seem to recognise my 320gb drive. I boot off of a raptor 150gb. I also have a couple of 500GB's in a mirror raid config. The SATA2 connector is not there so I have the 320gb drive connected to one of the other sata connectors.

My board is the 1.02 version but I have full control of the MCH up to 1.85, vcore control, etc. Is there some issue with the board 1.02 version.

And on the OE issue. Can someone lay down a quick paragraph on what this discussion is about?

Lawrywild could you append your first post to include some of these issues? It would make an easy point to point people to who are asking these same questions. Over time it would (and is already) be a go to point rather than having people like me asking the same questions over an over again. We can be told to read the forums, but with 225+ pages it becomes a lot to go through.

Thanks guys
