I've been building systems for a while now but I'm stumped on this, and I'm sick of not having a computer for almost 3 weeks now. The first time around newegg sent me a dead board. This time when they sent it back it was able to post, but randomly. Heres the problem - I turn it on half the time and it wont post any image on the screen. Others it will get all the way to windows and either work for a minute or two then freeze up, or in some cases its even freeze up when I'm in the bios. I've tried changing the ram speed and timings, playing with cpu voltage - I even dropped 120 bones on a brand new power supply and it still doesn't want to run consistantly. Here are the components: M2N-SLi Deluxe mobo, evga 7800gt, 5700+ Windsor dual core, 550w Corsair PSU, SB audigy 2, (2x2gb) pc6400 corsair ddr2 and a 200gb maxtor drive.

Any comments are helpful, thanks for reading.
 
have you tried using a single stick of ram versus using both?

Also have you tried using different ram slots?
 
Remove all your add-on devices except the video card and one stick of ram and see what happens, and gradually add from there. Provided the RAM passes the memtest of course.
 
after re-reading your original post, if its freezing in the BIOS id call support and see if they recommend flashing the BIOS and if not then its probably a bad board. - As a side note you might check your CPU temps and make sure its not running hot
