    X58A boards?

    Win7 hangs during install

    When trying to install Windows 7 from a burnt DVD (verified when it was burnt), the system will just hang at the "Starting Windows Setup" or whatever it is after it asks if you want to install windows or repair your system.

    New RAM shuts off PC when OCing...

    I have a GB P35-DS3L and a Q9450, I upgraded from 2x1GB DDR2-800 to 2x2GB DDR2-800. With the 2x1GB sticks I had no problems, it OC'd fine to 3.2GHz with a 1:1 ratio (800MHz RAM). With the new 2x2GB sticks even if I overclock it to 335 (from 333) it'll reboot when it goes to do the device...

    Q9450 High/Low temps

    Ok, so I finally got my Q9450 and I'm confounded as to my temperatures at idle/stock (6x333) 29 43 29 45 I used the horizontal line method with my AS5. Did intel change the orientation of the dies under the IHS with the 45nm generation? I'm confounded as to why they would go low/high/low/high.
