Hi Guys,
I'm getting very frustrated with all of this now. I've had different problems with two other nforce 4 motherboards and now I'm having problems with this Crossfire board, I'm seriously thinking of sending the whole lot back and just giving up on it all!!
Ok so I've upgraded to the latest 0404 bios. The problem is that if I save any settings even if they're the default settings in the BIOS the computer restarts but will never POST, not even if I cycle the power a zillion times.
If I clear the CMOS however it starts up and then complains about CMOS checksum error, and either enter setup or load default values. Well I can't enter setup because the minute I save anything it buggers up! And when I continue to load windows it works fine but when I restart the POST screen freezes. Then I'm back to square one again, cycle power and no POST.
I'm just absolutly p***d off with this whole thing, I've had nothing but trouble since day 1. All I want is a reliable working PC but it seems to much to ask for. I might even wait for Conroe and go the intel route. I've always had faith in AMD (haven't owned an intel desktop since 99) but this seems to be changing with the experiences I've been getting with these 3 motherboards.
