What exactly is the issue? I did find a workaround for my problem. When I turn off the PSU completely (has a switch, unplugging the power cable would do the same), wait a minute, then try again, I get the system to boot without problem. Well, sort of, the BIOS screen appears claiming that...

While I still think it is an option, it isn't because of the PSU being too weak. If anything, it is oversized. Interestingly, after installing W7 and performing several reboots it appears to work fine....probably jinxed it now. Thanks for all your help.

Got some more interesting observations. When I turn the main switch on the PSU off (same as pulling the mains cable out), wait a minute, then turn everything back on, the system boots without problem. Could that be a PSU issue? I use a brand new Antec Neo Eco 520C.

Checked the timings and they are exactly as the module specs state, same for the voltage. I'll try inching up the CPU_NB volts a bit. So much for approved memory, MemOK, and SPD. This is supposed to work right out of the box. *sigh*

OK, finally got the G.Skill memory that is on the approved memory list. Installed it...and get the same results. After clearing CMOS the system boots up and I can get into BIOS, but after saving BIOS settings or any other means of reset the board hangs with a memory error. I turned off ECC mode...

Does not like all Corsair RAM Got the EVO board and it is absolutely fantabulous! Except that it is pickier with RAM than I expected. I got two CMX4GX3M1A1600C7 and the board just does not like them. After clearing CMOS I can manage to get into the BIOS and the SPD data is read correctly. After...
