yeah, i can be 100% solid in windows now(since found my p35 gigabyte board decided to start killing memory, 3gigs down ) but quite often, infact i'd say more than 50% of the time boot either gets stuck at dmi installation, or it cycles for a while before even getting to first boot up screen with bios info, and then will ask to boot last known good config. happens way to much. from what i recall as long as settings were stable enough for windows booting was fine with original bios with board which i think was just F1. on f3 final at the mo and booting is complete pain.

still can't work out what aod is changing that i haven't done in bios myself that can cause a drop in performance. meh, will track it down eventually.
