Hey guys, I'm building a system with the DX38BT and I can't get XP to install, your help would be really appreciated here !

My system spec :

- DX38BT Mobo (iflashd' in the latest 1397 bios)
- Q6600 Quad Core 2.4 (thermaltake 775d fan on top)
- 2 Sticks of Patriot 2Gb DDR3 1333MHz (PDC34G1333LLK)http://www.patriotmemory.com/product...&id=650&type=1
- WD Raptor 150Gb HD on sata0
- Other 500Gb HD on sata1
- DVD drive on sata2
- nVidia FX1700 512Mb graphics card in PCIx 16 slot 1

I put to whole thing together and started it up. I decided to run everything at default settings as everything appeared to be present in bios, more or less.
I put my XP pro disc and booted off it to install to the fast raptor HD. It got through the first part of the install ok. When it resets and boots off the HD to continue the install, midway though the 'installing drivers' part, I get the BSOD with this message :

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

Stop : 0x0000000A (0,00000010, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x80515A86)

Beginning Dump of physical memory.
Physical dump memory complete.

It warns to switch off shadowing and caching in bios (how do I do that ?) among checking hardware and software updates..

To attempt to correct this, I updated the BIOS to 1397, restarted, same problem. I tried starting with only one stick of memory in the first slot and then alternated with the other, same problem. I tried installing to different hard disks (with only one plugged in at the time of install) still did not work. I have tried various mobo settings in BIOS like switching off all peripherals (sound, network), still same problem.

I noticed that the memory is not reported or running correct in the BIOS. The reported memory speed in the initial BIOS screen is 1066MHz. In memory settings, I have manually set the latencies to the manufacturer settings :
7-7-7-20 1333Mhz @ 1.7v. With these settings, the system will not start forcing me to use the mobo jumper reset. The memory will run 7-7-7-20 1066Mhz @1.7v. What is the reference frequency option in this menu ? I left it at default..I have run memtest86 in dos for 2 days, no reported problem with the 1066Mhz BIOS settings.

My guess is memory, motherboard or graphics card. I mean if it was the processor (correct me if I'm wrong here), I don't think I could have even gotten into the bios let alone halfway through the startup in windows xp . With that said I am going to try a friends graphics card to identify another possible error in this.

I'm looking for any help I can get toward getting this system up and running !
Any suggestions you guys have would be really appreciated !
