sesdave,

Of course you're absolutely right... I should RMA this board. I've tried everything I can think of (other than using another CPU - which likely wouldn't change anything), and nadda has worked.
Now the question is, if I RMA the Premium, I'll need another board... Should I get the same thing or maybe see if I can find a Maximus Formula locally?

I still have my Striker Extreme handy, but It's never played all that well with my Mushkin RAM (upper limit of 900MHz @ 5-5-5-15) whereas with the Premium I'm easily getting 1066MHz @ 5-4-4-12. I'd also like to just swap boards without having to re-do the OS et-all. Keeping to an Intel chipset would likely afford that, but installing the Striker would almost for sure mean a format.


Ahh, decisions, decisions...
