UPDATE: On a tip I changed the hypertransport setting from Auto to 4X and the system has been fine since. I wonder though why with my HW specs I can't run at 5X which produces the same problems as Auto gave me (I assume auto was selecting 5X).

Thanks for the tip. Crucial states that the voltage for these proms are 2.6V. Though I did try to crank them to 2.65 and 2.7. No change at 2.65 and strange boot failure at 2.7.

Will the DVD drive crash when inserting a data CD? If not, could it be that the autoplay feature is trying to play the DVD and cannot find a proper DVD codec? Do you have any DVD player software installed? Have you tried uninstalling the drive and reinstalling via device manager? or disabling...

I'm thinking of changing my PSU to the Seasonic 600W for use in my P180 case with PSU on bottom. My current PSU is the Antec 550 and in an effort to get my system to post and run stable, I'm resorting to a swap to a better rated PSU. The main cable on the Antec 550 is a good fit with not too...
