So I bought a new mobo (ASUS P5Q) and it's been nothing but trouble. I finally realised that it wont boot with RAM in slot 3 or 4. 1 and 2 work fine with 1 stick in each or just one between them.
After i got it to POST, i couldnt get my SSD to be recognised. turns out 2 SATA ports have to e activated in the OS :S
So I tried to install Win7 x64 and it took about 5min to load from first seeing the blue bg image to the language selection screen.
finally it installed and i started to update drivers. when it rebooted it failed to load win7 at all, inc safe mode. I formatted again and tried just updating thegpu drivers (10.6) and same thing happened but I can boot in safe mode. formatted again and used 10.3 drivers. same thing
So basically, is tis mobo faulty or am I doing lots of things wrong?
