Because God has cursed you never to get your machine running properly ever :p ;)

I'd say BIOS over exagerating, or maybe there is too much paster, or even possibly bad contact between the HSF and CPU heat spreader.

change the block a little but a smug little more thermal paste on now we are on 26c :)

Rightio windows XP is installed and everything is working ok...

I got a new motherboard and when using the gigabyte motherboard you have to make sure that you use the red slots (2 and 4) or it will not start and keep restarting...

The DS4 has a few issues with RAID that need to be sorted though, not sure that I would totally recommend the board

Does this mean your not running in dual channel stelly? I know Gigabyte are fine tuning the bioses quite a bit for these mobos, so hopefully they will improve.

Shame I was fancying a Gigabyte board, lets see how it clocks.

Yes its running dual channel

My main gripe and the main problem is that the RAID is messed totally up... you can select it in the BIOS, and also when you have BOTH raid (gigabyte and intel) running you cant use the BIOS without having to rest the BIOS to turn the RAID off because it skips the post screen some how...

No problem mate :)

and to everyone else thanks for understanding... demanding gf and family... how I long for the days when I was on my own with no ***.... ok maybe not...

I did try and start up the computer on Saturday at about one in the morning... but I couldnt focus on the screen... so I decided I was not in the best state to attempt anything :)

No worries matey, I have been up until 4am constantly re-installing Windows until a light came on and I remembered that DVD drive in the PC I was building wasn't recognised by XP after the initial reboot :rolleyes:

Good luck, hopefully I get something through the post this week, hint hint OcUK!
