...back again. having swapped out everything i can including mem, hard drives, dvdrom, cables, psu...and left the cmos
battery out for 4 hours, i am no further forward. found an old copy of Vista....same error. dug out a copy of windows xp pro s.p. 2
and it loaded without a problem. loaded chipset drivers, hd 6970 drivers....all good on same hardware?
any more suggestions before i assume that my board and chip are not compatible?
window 7 upgrades adviser for 570sli is a mixed bag; some do some don't...does not show ga-570sli at all
