What is your ram voltage set to in the bios, as you may need to raise it.

I have tried the slots one at a time and i will go to a pals house and use his ram latter. Is this defiantly a ram problem?

L2 cache is something to do with cpu isn't it?

what bios you on? f12?

Dont know, it passes the cpu test in bois so i would think the cpu is ok with the board but i may pick up a cheap i7 and see if i need to flash bios

manual says it has dual bios, tried the other one?

I had seen that but cant find a switch or jumper to change to the seconds one

With the ram in the first white slot ftom the cpu i get error 68 lol

b8 - Intel Core i7 MRC Code - Memory - check above
68 - PM in
b9 Intel Core i7 MRC Code - Memory - check above

B8 and 68 would look the same on the read out so showing both but as 69 also would look like b9 i went and found that too and boom! B8 and B9 and the same, i think i have a ram error so i am off out in the car to test with a friends kingston blue 1600 9,9,9,24 1.65v it as to be supported.

i now have an 920 in the post it will be hear monday so i will report back then.
i know the motherboard run fine with a 920 at 4.3 so if i get a none boot i know there is something wrong with ram.

I have an i7 920 coming in the post monday to flash the bios, if thats the problem i will know then. If there is a problem with my set up i will also k ow as the board was run with an i7 920 before i got it

Yep i7 920 dropped in and booted fine, the motherboard is on f7 bios.
am going to keep the i7 for a few day because i need the thermal paste i just ordered from OcUK

that's good then,f7 is very early bios

I found f12 to be the most stable

i will flash the bios a little latter after i have drivers all sorted, i was told F12 by a few people so i think that what i will go with for now
