I tried to use those BIOS settings as best I could (I'm afraid some of the instructions were a little unclear) and the system booted okay. (At least the system didn't just power down the way XMP Profile1 does). I tried to install Win7 64bit again, and when it got to the point where it was expanding files on the DVDand copying them to disk I got an error that basically said the files on the DVD were corrupt. A little poking around online seemed to show that this is known to sometimes be a symptom of an unstable overclock.
So I'm not sure if this approach is going to help me (although not sure why I got different results than you did; maybe I didn't do everything correctly). I am still hoping for some input from Gigabyte support when they (hopefully) respond to me tomorrow.
Thanks for the attempt though; if I can ever get the OS to install cleanly I may come back and try this again.
