Hi,

Although the problem could be due to the memory there are other factors that could also be causing this issue.

Can you post details of your PSU and also the make and model number of your Hard-drives? Sometimes, if your hard-drives are "Green" or Energy Saving" problems with the OS install can occur so if you are using this type of HDD this could be the problem.

I would advise starting off with only the bare minimum of components within the build. Check that you have mounted your motherboard properly and that you are not getting any electrical shorts. Install your DVD/CD drive, 1 HDD and 1 stick of RAM. Double check your Mobo revision number (1.0 or 2.0) then check that your BIOS is up to date (Even with new boards the BIOS can still be out of date).

In BIOS load Optimized Defaults then try to install OS again.

Hope this helps

you are not using a Blu-Ray drive are you?
reason being, some Blu Ray drives have taken an extra 20 mins to install the o/s
at the part where it is expanding files/copying files it just sits, there,
at first I thought the initial machine was broken, but after going to make a cuppa to end the rage I got back to the machine to find it had continued.

the only other time I saw a freezing mobo recently was an MSI with the 770 chipset, it just hated Crucial Value ram, but was happy with Crucial Ballistix (go figure)
(all the ram tested fine on the gigabyte board!!! )

anyway good luck
