Hi, Newby here.

I installed this Mobo and it constantly locks up when I try to play a video. I looked through this thread and decided to re-install my old Mobo. I would think that as much as this board costs, it should run correctly out of the box.

Does the Striker 2 extreme have an issue when running everything in auto/default settings? I paid good money for this board and if it requires tweeking just to run then I don't need the hassles.

I tried just about everything to get the system stable, I bought a new video card, new memory, new PSU, and a new quad core CPU. I will reinstall it one of these days and list the bios settings as specified in the thread.

My question is, is it going to require constant tweeking?

Thanks for any help or suggestions.
