I just purchased the following
Phenom II 965
3.4Ghz with Hyper 212+
Crucial 8GB (2x4GB 1600mhz)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233196
ASUS M5A99X
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131754
Antec Earthwatts 500W
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371035
Im still running the following
HIS Radeon HD4850 IceQ4 Turbo
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161244
Hitatchi 320GB Unsure of the part number
Its seems as though my board has a software / bios issue, it refuses to boot and hangs on either the RAM self-Diagnostics or (very rarely) the GPU Self-Diagnostics. Once this happens pressing the mem ok button does nothing but blink several times and goes back to a solid light the only way to start the machine I have to unplug the machine and leave it unplugged for approximately 5 minutes and once I plug it back in it will boot. Once it is booted into windows I can play games, browse the internet, etc with no issues. I have run Prime95 CPU and Memory test, as well as sandra sisoft and the computer passes with flying colors. I have no other option but to think that ther board has a bios issue that needs to be corrected. I have updated the bios to rev0705 8/26/11 and the problem still persists. all parts wer ordered brand new and istalled in a clean work area. I have pulled the parts and tested them in an almost similar system which uses an M4A87TD-Evo and the computer boots fine everytime. I have only ever used Asus motherboards and hope that this issue can be resolved before I am forced to exchange the motherboard for another board.
