TiredGeek is on a distinguished road

Or you could return the mobo and get an XFX 780i board which works perfectly right out of the box. OK, you don't get the soundcard included and it has a few option missing from the bios that the Asus has, but I prefer a system that boots rather than one that gives me problems.
I did persist with my Asus board for a week, trying everything including beta bios direct from Asus technical but the thing just wasn't stable with 8gb of ram. I bought an XFX board (same 780i chipset) to see if it was one of my components, and that thing booted straight up and is 100% stable.
I used to trust Asus to make a good board, but that is the last time I buy anything from them...........
