Is this with a PCI-E raid card? The problem I had with bios 403 was that if Intel Raid (onboard) was enabled it will not work with my PCI-E card.
I had to use either but not both (If I wanted to use PCI-E raid card intel onboard had to be set as IDE otherwise there were major issues).
I havent tried the raid card with 501 but I will do so tonight and see what the result is.

Hopefully this is an isolated issue.

Does anyone know of any issues running the QX9770 with this board?
I am running a QX9770 with no isues at all on this board. Currently running 10x400 with 1.325v in bios. This is wiht 8GB of DDR3. It seems I can not increase the FSB past 400 or the memory past 1600MHz (most probably I could if I were to run 2Gb or 4Gb isntead of 8GB - but I am happy with the overall speed and the amount of memory).
