You certainly should have been able to install an x86 OS. Something is
fundamentally wrong here.

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.
