First of all Hi everyone and good morning.
Just wondered if any of you guys have purchased a XFX X58I MOBO and had any problems because I've had no end since installing the card . First of all during installation the CPU speed jumpers were set wrong although it said auto was the default setting they weren't and the image depicting which memory slots to use was wrong (reversed) on the installation guide. Ok no problem those were easly overcome.
The real problem is after a few days of running the system it started to hang on the POST but restarting the computer would fix this, until yesterday and now it wont even boot up at all, nothing it just stops at POST with no signal to the monitor. I've tried clearing the CMOS and even changed the battery but nothing solves the problem I cant access the BIOS and after searching the internet this seems to be a common problem with these boards among other issues including issues with 6GB of memory.
Just wondered if any one had solved the problem or should I return the card (will I be able to?) after all I've paid nearly £120 for a card that had major problems straight out of the box.
System Specs.
Intel Core i7 920 D0 Stepping (SLBEJ) 2.66Ghz (Nehalem) (Socket LGA1366)
