Just tried 5-5-5-18 with tRD10 then 11, both still failed at the same point, I even got this message from Windows Boot Manager on one attempt...
Code:
File: \Windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
Status: 0xc0000221
Windows failed to load because the kernel is missing...
It seems to be after POST when it "looks" at the HD for the files to boot the OS (I could be talking total garbage too though!).
8x450 (3.60GHz) gives the same error so I guess it's not a CPU issue...right?
EDIT:
5-5-5-18 along with MCH Core 1.26, 1.28 & 1.30 give the same error, I also tried it with tRD 10 (MCH Core 1.28), still the same.
