Hey Psitech,

Try setting the voltage to auto... my E8400 is running smooth. And make sure your RAM voltage is set correctly and to Auto timings (by SPD I think is what I selected.) Computer uses stock speeds and RAM is 1:1 using different timings than factory. If you get Windows to boot then you can try different OC settings if you want.

My 8800GT was running at half clock until I finally reinstalled Windows as a last resort. All was fine after that... machine is running sweet. Going to attempt overclock to 3.6GHz soon using stock cooling, which apparently E8400 does without effort or extra voltage.

Keep us updated. BTW I'm using Bios 2602.

Do you guys think it has anything to do with the revision of the board? I don't remember the exact revision of mine but it only goes to 1.65 for the NB. The chip information reported is accurate, but when loading all bios defaults and then looking at the reported cpu voltage in the bios it reads at 1.75. The lowest voltage available for me to choose is 1.375 and I know that this is WAY off.

Any ideas?
