From: NYTELTECH on 14 Jan 2008 19:36 Seems like The combination of AW8D motherboard and Intel chip just wouldn't let 32 bit OS get installed. anyway, I checked temps. They are: CPU:70c, motherboard 35c, and I've been keeping the case open since I thought it might be heat as well. I don't think that's it anymore, but I'm still open to suggestions. As far as memory goes, I have already run weekend stress tests and found no problems. This is actually too much computer for what I use it for, but I had to satisfy myself and make my first build. Power was an issue when I first put my "Frankenstein" together. I was trying to run this thing with an old 300W p/s. Needless to say, that did NOT go well. I replaced it with an 800W BFG if I remember correctly, and it helped, but the problems have not gone away. I really appreciate the input guys, and will attempt anything suggested here because I am at a loss. I'm technically savvy, and have great troubleshooting skills, but this thing is not a phone system. Thanks.
