Hi,

I have had my P5E3 Premium since it was released and have a QX9650 and Corsair DDR3 1800Mhz memory.

I have noticed that when I first boot my system from cold I receive the following message,

"CPU core to bus ratio or VID configuration has failed"

This the leads me to enter the BIOS by pressing F1 due to a boot failure. From this point I just exit the BIOS and the system runs absolutely fine again. I can restart it no roblem either. But, if I switch off completely I get the same error message.

I am running 450FSB x 7 with DDR3 running at 7-7-7-20 2.0v

All other voltage settings are at default.

Does anyone know what is causing this? I just tried default settings for cpu, multiplier and memory running at 1333Mhz and it still happens.

Thanks for any help.
