I have tried installing the following: XP sp2 installed got all drivers working couldn't update to SP3. Wiped it tried installing xpsp3 black edition gave me a blue screen. Tried win7 RC and same thing gave me blue screen and a random reboot. I have tried 3 different hard drives I have used memtest to test 2 of my 4GB of ram and they passed. The only step I can think of to do next is to take out the 9950 and install everything with another AM2 processor. Then once I'm all set up flash the boards BIOS with the updated version then try it with the 9950. I'm at a loss here. ------------------------- AMD 940 PH2 BE @ 3.7 Ghz ArcticFreezer 64 pro Asus M3A79-T Deluxe Patriot 4GB pc8500 DDR2 1066@5-5-5-15 Antec Quattro 850 Watt PSU Asus 5770 1GB DDR5 850/1200 Sound blaster Audigy. w/2.1 surround Logitech speakers Antec 900 case w/4 120mm fans 1 200mm fan

After I uninstall SP3 everything works fine. So, I just diable the SP3 update in Windows Updates. ------------------------- AMD Phenom II X4 940 GIGABYTE GA-MA790GP-UD4H Mushkin 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Zalman CNPS9700 LED 110mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler Seagate Barracuda 500GB SATA-300 Hard Drive OCZ GameXStream OCZ700GXSSLI 700W RAIDMAX SMILODON ATX-612WB

I need to use my ultimate boot cd to format the drive yet again. I am wonder if it might be the main board and cpu not playing nicely ------------------------- AMD 940 PH2 BE @ 3.7 Ghz ArcticFreezer 64 pro Asus M3A79-T Deluxe Patriot 4GB pc8500 DDR2 1066@5-5-5-15 Antec Quattro 850 Watt PSU Asus 5770 1GB DDR5 850/1200 Sound blaster Audigy. w/2.1 surround Logitech speakers Antec 900 case w/4 120mm fans 1 200mm fan

I did clear CMOS after installing the RAM, the SPD was set to auto and it tried to run my ram @200MHz with 2.0-2-2-5 when it should be 3.0-3-3-8. Installing XP SP3 later will always make some problems. I integrated a SP3 in my installation-disc, costs less time to install and won't make as much trouble. ------------------------- Phenom II 940 @3.40GHz 1,35V\|Xigmatek HDT-SD964\|Foxconn A79A-S\|4GB Kingston HyperX 1066 CL5 2.0V\|Sapphire HD4830 512MB\|Sharkoon Avenger\|LC6600GP2 600W http://www.sysprofile.de/id99196
