Hello,
Purchased this board from OCUK, about to send it back under RMA but wanted to make sure that it's not something I am doing before I do. I don't like wasting peoples time!
My specs are as follows:
Windows 7 x64 Ultimate
Intel i7 2600k
GA-P67A-UD3-B3
4 x G.Skill Ripjaw F3-10666CL9D-8GBRL - CL9-9-9-24 1.5v
HIS Radeon 6950
500GB Sata 6GB/S HDD
The problem - PC decides to freeze at random intervals, it can happen at the BIOS load, before I even manage to get a beep out of it, after the BIOS loads and gives a successful one beep. In the setup menu, loading windows, or even 10 minutes into me using the OS. In windows it just freezes completely, in bios it will often restart (but can freeze too). It's driving me nuts.
What I have tried:
I have tried different RAM to begin with, Corsair CMX4GX3M2A16009C. (Also I've only been using 1 stick at a time, and have tried different sticks of the same kind). Same issue.
I have updated the BIOS to F4, same problem although it seems to have increased the duration between the freezes slightly. That might just be luck though.
I have tried a different Graphics card, an old Winfast geForce, again same problem.
Changed the PSU to a friends 700w, same problem.
Changed the HDD to my OCZ 80GB RevoDrive.. same problem.
Even switched coolers and reseated everything multiple times. Had it all out of the case on a desk and tried it, as you can guess same problem again.
Am I missing something here? Is there something special that i should configure with this board, as I've only ever dealt with AMD equipment. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks
