well it turned out it was my mobo that was faulty

i got it rma'd and the new one booted first time and is currently installing winxp64 bit .

well so far so good.

so the 2 sec boot is not allways down to memory ehh !

especially if like me when you lift the case vertical all stops. so go try another mobo if your suffering this issue.

will report back on stability with the board as is when i have an os on it.
 
I also have the Gigabyte 6-quad 965p-dq6 with a E-geforce 7600GT with ocz ddr2 pc6400-2gig. Will not start up for some reason. The screen will go blank and doesnt even go to the logo and when i turn on the computer, it starts for 10-15 seconds then shutoffs. What am i doing wrong? I got a 500watt powersupply and all the parts are NEW. Can anyone help me please?

Its your memory. Take the OCZ out and boot with someone elses' memory. then RMA the OCZ memory. OCZ will reprogram the SPD.
 
Well I had similiar problems with the dq6 and e6600. I originally thought it was gounding issue because somtimes it would get farther into post and it seemed like it was only when i was trying to ground the board it turned out to be my ram I was using 1gig 1 stick pqi 667mhz, I swapped it with corsair 1 gig 2 sticks xms2 667mhz and worked fine but 2 gigs 4 sticks it would have post issues but sticks in either red or yellow would be fine. I returned the board to fry's and got a new one with no issues with either the pqi or the the 4 sticks of corsair.
 
K i told my bro to exchange the ram to consair. Hopefully that is the problem, and i will keeps you guys updated and see if it works.
 
K my brother just came back from FRYS and installed the Consair and the computer is still having the same problems. Turn on the computer, 10-15 seconds later it shuts off and also it does not load, the screen is still off. We also tried put another video card in and still does not work. Any help on this?

All that stuff is obviously defective. Send it to me for proper disposal. PM me for my mailing address.

Either that, or look at THIS THREAD
 
K I figured out what was wrong, you know how you have to put those gold metal scews on to the case before installing the motherboard, and i did say i had another motherboard before this one, well ends up that i forgot to take 2 screws off and those 2 screws were conflicting with the powersupply and motherboard, so i guess i was lucky that i didnt get shocked during that process, so i will try to install windows xp dvd and hopefully that runs smooth
