Vista has issues being installed with 4gb's of ram, you need to install with 2gb's, install the hotfix and put the other 2 gigs in......the gigabyte also has issues running 4 sticks of ram, seems the x38 doesnt like 4 gigs of ram, i got BSOD's with 4 sticks of ram, even on stock settings.......gigabyte board sucked for me, vdroop was horrible, vcore was horrible, trying to get 1.55 volts i had to squeeze to 1.65 in bios, wich gave me 1.62 at load, no way to get 1.57 volts with that board, overall i was very unhappy with the gigabyte board, i sold my 4 sticks of d9gmh and got the new g.skill 2x2gb ddr1000Originally Posted by SVTSnake
Man I cannot believe the vdroop this board has. Set to 1.56** in bios, under load its at 1.456
Board still has problems running CAS5 266 with the Ballistix. Using the stock 0401 bios. Had to drop down to 2gigs of my Ballistix just to get Vista installed without BSOD of final installation. Not very happy with this board to say the least. The X38-DQ6 was much easier to run, with less problems it seemed. Think I am going to go back to my DFI UT-P35 T2R...
