Hey everyone,
My Core 2 Duo build has been an absolute nightmare so far. Quickly the system specs are:
Asus P5B
Core 2 Duo E6600
OCZ Gold (OCZ2G8002GK) 2GB DDR2 Kit
320GB Seagate 7200.10
I finally got the system to POST with some generic DDR2 inside a slot. Turned up the memory voltage to 2.1v, manually set the timings, and stuck the OCZ stuff back in. Works fine now. There are loads of problems with the OCZ RAM and the P5B board, definitely aware of that whole issue.
I'm able to boot off the XP SP2 CD, but once I go through the blue-screen partition manager the whole system locks up and goes nowhere. It just hangs on the "Formatting 0%" portion and goes no further. I've tried another SATA drive and I still get the same problem. Sometimes it hangs just before I get a chance to delete the old partitions, sometimes it allows me to partition and then just hangs.
Any ideas?
