So i get my 780i back, and install everything without a problem but when i try to boot Vista i get a BSOD that flashes for a 1 second so i cannot even read it then the computer reboots.

See system Specs for my Config(Note: this is NOT OVERCLOCKED)

Things i have tried that didnt work

-different HDD's both with Vista 64bit installed on each both did the same error so its not a HDD problem

-Using a single 8800GS

-Swapping the E8400 for a E4400

-using 1-2-3-4 Sticks of ram in different slots, same problem

-Reseting CMOS

-Changing BIOs Voltage and RAM timings

Right now im on the verge of RMA the motherboard as i cannot seem to solve it myself, but any ideas before i do and WASTE even more time! waiting for an RMA...

I plan on calling EVGA Tech support later on and see what they say.
