I have just got this mobo and I can't load Vista x64 with default settings.

The computer is locking up while it is loading.

I made sure my hard drive is on ide mode and I dropped to single stick ram and increased dram voltage. No go!!

Cpu is q9450, hard drive is raptor 74gb. Ram is micron d9gkx.

All of these components were working on previous mobo including the vista dvd and the video card.

The motherboard came with bios 704 , I flashed it to latest bios 1306 using ezflash 2.

Please help....
