Did you reset the bios ram settings to a default state before trying the new ram? Might just be set too far out of spec for the new stuff.

I have had exceptioonal good luck with Evga, and, the time my luck ran out I had NO problems with my RMA. They have a good product, support, and service. It seems there are also fewer people complaining on the forums about how things went with an RMA from them.

I just put the bios file in my documents and use winflash to do mine.

Be careful with it. I accidentally hit close program instead of shut down and it ate my Evga Nf4! No diagnostic program would work after that, the whole system would freeze, hard locked. I think it ate the winvond, but it might have done in the northbridge. All I know is it woudn't work right...

Use the realtek audio drivers off the disk. The Nvidia drivers cause a lot of difficulty, couldn't get them to work with my system. No problem with firewall or IDE though.

Did you go into the bios? Do it.......go to integrated periferals..hit enter...on chip IDE functions...enter.... enable the sata channels you need, 1/2 or 3/4, of course you want raid, go to .raid configuration...enter...enable, enter, escape your way back out, hit save and exit. At your reboot...

It helps if you have some jewelers screwdrivers, as they are so small, but otherwise it's a piece of cake job. Just don't lose the screws in the carpet!

Sounds like you have a lot of dust buildup on your heatsink. Pull the card, renove the 3 or 4 screws holding the cover on the heatsink, and check for a lot of dust at the edge of the heatsink. My 6800 GT was almost completely blocked off. I replaced the whole unit with an AC rev3 and run @...

I'm using some old PNY Verto 3500. It''s working great as long as I leave all the BIOS settings for memory on auto. If I try setting them manually things get goofy, but the FSB is @230 x 12 for 2760mhz. on a 4000+ with an AC 64 pro. Since this memory isn't even a matched set for dual channel I'm...

What bios version are you using? E44 was supposed to fix the issue. The best idea woould be to have a ps2 keyboard around for emergencies anyway. I always have a spare, since they only cost about $6 on sale. And coffee or ice cream spills are no longer a threat to my fun.

did you put the power plug into the mobo connector?

Just like the forum says. I used the winflash, but I'm sure the nflash is about the same. I always used the Abit flashmenu utility on their newer boards. Or you can do it the good oldfashioned way. boot imto a dos disk (I just used an old windows startup floppy), run awflash, and it does all the...

Unless I'm mistaken I saw some of those at the local Microcenter yesterday. Only place I've ever seen that brand.

corruption at post means it's toast.

I was doing it in the bios, then the restarting fiasco. Then nvtune hardlocks. So does just about any other diagnostic, like cpu-z. I think one of the chips is borked.
