I just installed a Pentium D805 and an Asus P5LD2-VM motherboard and I cannot get it to boot into windows. It will get right up to the poin where windows starts to load and it will restart without the windows logo even coming up. If I have it boot into safe mode it will load everything then restart right when it trys to go. I have checked all the settings in the bios and my bios version is high enough to support the D805. I have tried two different hard drives that load windows fine on my other system. I am running a fairly new antec 550w power supply so plenty of power.
I have tried DDR667 ram and DDR 400 ram 1 and 2 dimms in every slot configuration. I have my 24pin and 12v 4 pin connected properly and my cpu fan connected even though I am runnign water cooling. In the bios the CPU is around 30 celsius. I have tried with the onboard video and with my PCI express video card. I have tried with multiple hard drives and CD drives hooked up and only one hard drive. It always recognizes all the drives fine. My motherboard is fully supported and there is nothing touching metal from waht I can tell. I am unable to flash to a newer bios yet because when I try and flash it it says I must be running in MS-DOS mode so I guess my bootdisk isn't running MS-DOS in a way that my BIOS likes.
I had this exact same problem with an ECS RC410L/800-M board. I have no other ideas for what else to try.
