Default Re: GA-EP45-UD3P - Won't boot with 450FSB

If the lowered MCH Core volts don't work, test with:
Cpu Termination = 1.32, then 1.28, then 1.24
If one of these is successful, don't test the others, go directly to stability testing.

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!).
Good observation, you can verify this by watching the HDD activity light in your case while you're booting. Naturally you'll need to keep one eye on the screen and the other eye watching the HDD light.

We still need to know what programs you're testing with, and for how long.

Loading OPTIMIZED bios defaults is REQUIRED before you tweak your bios settings.
This includes new system setups and immediately after flashing your bios!!!
