Hello! Here's the setup I'm having trouble with:
Mobo: ASUS Maximus II Formula
RAM: F2-6400CL5Q-16GBPQ
CPU: Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9770
This setup simply will not boot. I tinkered with some of the settings in BIOS (Don't really know what I'm doing) and was able to get it to boot to BIOS. But sometimes BIOS will freeze, or it won't boot, really unstable. Here's the kicker though, The system runs A-OK 100% when I pop in my Q9650 CPU.
From the research I've done, it seems like the weird FSB speed of the QX9770 (1600MHz) may be to blame. Also, I have tried 3 or 4 different QX9770s so I know it's not a bad chip problem.
Help? Thanks!
