Yup it would only affect you after POST when you attempt to BOOT the OS.

Thought so. It doesn't boot to bios, just turns the fans on, shows power to mobo, then off, then on again and so on. Must be defective.

One last question before I send it out for RMA. Would the cpu not being supported by the current bios version of the mobo cause this to happen?

i know for a fact that the stricker needs a Beta version so that the new .45nm cpu's will work.. but its beta.. i wouldnt touch it.. check online for your board and look at the last bios that was released..!

maybe you just need a new bios for the Extreme Version..! never know

You do have both power connectors (the 24-pin and the 4-pin) plugged into the mobo? Try re-seating the RAM and the CPU.

I think you gave up too fast. The DS3R should recongnize the new chips no problem and have the proper BIOS already flashed - the EP35s are the newest Gigabyte boards.

You are running Crucial Tracers and XMS2 sticks? I would have tried to boot with a single XMS2 stick, since I know those do boot with 1.8V - unlike the Tracers, which need 1.9V-2.0V.

I tried each stick of ram individually, tested psu, and tried much more

Good, you did go to such extent in testing. Did you try a CMOS reset with battery removal?
