Ga-EP45-UD3P Bios settings with XP2 8500 #996599

[zarrion]

Hi,
I can not get the four new sets of Mushkin XP2s 8500 to post with my brand new UD3P.
I trolled the forums for bios settings and can not get a stable post with any of them.

Heres what I've tried so far.

MB Intelligent Tweaker(M.I.T.)
Robust Graphics Booster ...............: Auto or Fast
CPU Clock Ratio ..........................: 8
Fine CPU Clock Ratio.....................:.5
CPU Frequency ...........................: 2.83


Clock Chip Control 
Standard Clock Control
CPU Host Clock Control..................: [Enabled] 
CPU Host Frequency (Mhz) ............: 333Mhz
PCI Express Frequency (Mhz) .........:Set to 100

C.I.A.2 .................................:[Disabled]


Advanced Clock Control [Press Enter]

CPU Clock Skew (ps)....................: <<< 
MCH Clock Skew (ps)...................: <<< 50-150


DRAM Performance Control
Performance Enhance...................: [STANDARD]
Extreme Memory Profile (X.M.P.).....: Disabled
(G)MCH Frequency Latch...............: [Auto] Or 333
System Memory Multiplier ..............: 3.20B

DRAM Timing Selectable ................: [Manual]

Standard Timing Control
CAS Latency Time........................5
tRCD .........................................5
tRP'...........................................5
tRAS..........................................15

Set all highest below then later you can lower testing as you go.  If you do not want to set all of this stuff, you need to at least set performance enhance above, trfc below, ram voltage, and MCH Voltages.  The rest you may leave on auto if you want if static Tread is not too low.  You may need to set it as well

Advanced Timing Control
tRRD...........................................3-5
tWTR..........................................3-6 (Set 12 first)
tWR............................................4-6 (Set 14 first)

I have Started my dram voltage at 2.0 and driven it to 2.1 in increments.
I have adjusted the MCH Core from 1.1 to 1.23 in increments as well.

I have got the system to post successfully only with the above settings at dram voltage 2.0 and 1066Mhz memory timings. after a successful post the system will reboot loop on the next power cycle reset. I have yet to install windows vista successfully.

Any help would be appreciated. I'm tech savy but this build is kicking me in the pants. If someone with a little more patience than I, could give me the exact bios settings I need to try to get a stable post?

I have tested all 4 sticks of memory one at a time with no change in results.

Myabe if you were more specific about your current settings someone could have halep you.
