Hi all, I just got my P5E today and am having an issue with it.

Whenever I change any BIOS setting from default, my network card will randomly go into "disabled" mode in windows. I try to enable it but it doesn't do anything and I have to reboot to make it work.

I have tried uninstalling the driver adapter (Marvell Yukon 88E8056 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller), and letting windows automatically reinstall it. But I still have the same issue.

I've also tried updating the bios to 605, didn't help. Flashed it to the Rampage bios, still no-go.

Any ideas? I'm running Windows Server 2008 32bit btw....and I was having no issues at all with my P5K under this OS before. I did do a complete reinstall after the mobo upgrade. Could this be a sign of an unstable clock? Because I jumped straight to 400fsb...but I have played with all sorts of voltages and it seems stable for 30 min of OCCT....

*edit* it appears to be some sort of Ballistix compatibility problem with my slots 2 and 4. I moved them to slots 1 and 3 and am now stable so far at 425fsb with no disconnects.
