It doesn't affect every board, which is why it's a tricky problem to track down (and fix) - I'm glad you've been luckier than we have, I'd be about ready to throw the board back at NVIDIA/EVGA if I was a paying customer and had gone through three boards.

Hum, i also think im lucky with my board, just unlucky with the ram im using, would you recomend me upgrading the bios with this tim?

Thanks for using a small slice of my thread as well

Thanks

Sam

Edit: Tim, this is the ram im using (2*1gb)http://www.corsairmemory.com/corsair...X1024-6400.pdf, can you tell me if it is good or not, im also thinking of replacing the EVGA with a striker, would this ram be ok in the striker, cheers Tim
