Finally got around to building my new box. EVGA SR-2(270-WS-W555) motherboard with a pair of Xenon 5690's. GPU is a single 7970 for now. I picked up a set of 8GBx4 on Newegg when they where on sale. It will post into bios on initial boot and I can start modifying settings. However it will hang the bios at random intervals causing me to hard reboot. I tried going to one stick per cpu but still have issue. Based on various sources online. I'm leaning towards a ram instability at the 1333 frequency. I was wondering what timings you recommend for 1333 on these sticks until I can get the OS installed and can boost it to 1600. Unfortunately the bios maxes out at 1333. First time I've had this problem on a build
I appreciate any ideas you can give me. Again inital boot off newboard unable to configure bios due to hang/freeze. Code 87(Execute BIOS setup) on MB during setup and hang.
EDIT: Also I've pulled all other cards and drives. Installed items are CPUs, GPU, 1 DDR3 stick per CPU and usb keyboard.
