I had some hardware issues and never made it through Vista setup on a new computer Im building http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1031805924#post1031805924
After a while I realized that it was memory related. I ran MemTest86 and it stopped with lots of errors after a few seconds.
Ive been mainly using a an Asus Maximus Formula board, but I also tried Asus P5E earlier with the same problems. I have tried Crucial Ballistix Memory, OCZ ATI Certified memory, and Corsair XMS memory, I know that all of the memory tried works fine in other computers (except for the ATI Cert. mem which is brand new).
I tried flashing to the newest BIOS for both boards (903 for the Maximus). I tried setting the DDR voltages at Auto, 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2, no change. Tried different slots.
I am baffled by these problems, especially the fact that it happens to TWO boards!
Whats going on? Do I really need to RMA both boards??
Thanks
