I received my NewEgg combo order last week and have been having issues since day one. Current issues are:
1) The two USB 3.0 ports in the back don't seem to work on boot but work in Windows. I've updated to the FD bios and may have to try the beta ones but am holding off atm. I tried pressing delete on the keyboard to enter bios but it doesn't work unless I use the USB 2.0 ones. Also if I am plugged into the USB 3.0 ports with my keyboard and mouse and I get a hard lock both devices lose power. If I use the USB 2.0 ports and get a hard lock power is still on to both devices.
2) Prime 95. I haven't overclocked my cpu and have tried fail safe, optimized, optimized with updated settings for the OCZ memory and I can't get a stable result. I've gotten 9 hours one time but ran it again and it failed in 1 minute. I can start it, get an error in 2 minutes then rerun the test immediatly and it will last for an hour. I've swapped out to my old Antec 650W PSU, used my old 260 GTX card, and ran memtest86 on each of the 3 sticks individually for 1 pass and then ran all 3 for 9 hours and still no errors for the memory. I also checked the motherboard cpu slot and didn't see any bent pins.
3) Hard locks. I've only played Age of Conan mostly on my new pc and am getting hard locks on it.I tried reinstalling windows with the latest drivers and just the Nvidia 260.99 driver for both cards. I haven't had a lock on the 260 but prime 95 isnt stable with the 260 installed so I'm not sure if it's more than one issue going on. I thought maybe it was a voltage problem but I replaced the new 850W PSU with my old 650W PSU and the gtx460 still locks up.
I have a fresh windows 7 64bit install with the latest drivers from the website and FD bios.
Here are my current bios settings:

Any ideas?
Currently I removed the OCZ vertex ssd in case it was causing issues, only have 6/12 gb of ram installed, and am using my old video card and psu temporarily.
