Well, I have a B2 board and have just gone from F8x to F8f and now I cannot boot past the bios screen into windows 7 (64). It always stops with a black screen after "Loading operating system" Tried a full OS installation on another drive with same probs. Tried default bios and optimized as well, no go. Also tried Windows @BIOS to no avail.
If I go back to F8x everything is fine. I want to go to F8f because of the greater stability (reboots and C1's etc). Everybody agrees that F8f is the way to go but not for me.
It's a real pain for me and i am totally baffled. I don't want to stay at F8x if F8f is the better bios.

Help needed please

PS
Not sure If I'm in for a B3 board (I have registered) because there are usually too many hoops to jump through here (UK) so I need an answer if I have to stay with the B2 board
no worries friend your definitely on the b2 board , are the bios your using would not be working . Ok i had the same problem F8x to F8f at the loading screen , try go to bios and change your achi setting to ide and see if it boots on F8f , if it does you'll be without achi which brings a bit more hhd performance
