Intel Core2 Quad Q84400 @ 2.66 GHZ
GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P VERSION 1.6
F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK
Thanks to Gskill for trying to resolve the issues with this motherboard. Judging from the threads and the views I'm not alone when I say this build has been a PITA. I gleaned more information in 10 minutes reading this forum then an hour with Gigabyte's department of customer no-service. That said here's my problem.
System will run reliable w/ 4gig memory in either 1-3 or 2-4. The hair pulling begins when I try to insert 8 gigs (4-2gigs). And yes I did increase the MCH Core to 1.4V and the trFC to 80. I also flashed the Bios with the new version and updated the chipset driver. I also set the timing ahead to 6-6-18. Nonetheless, the blue screen of death awaits me each time the system enters the initial boot stage of windows 7 pro 64bit.
Any new tweeks that aren't contained in the posts of the newly bald owners of this motherboard or should I just concede that 4 gigs of memory is plenty for this middle aged (if I live to 108 yrs.) gnome.
