smackerg Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I was just googling and came across this thread. I have the exact same problems ... setup is a P5Q-E, Q9550, 4GB kit, 2x500gb raid1 on intel. At first i thought it's the ram, tested with many diff models of ********, corsair ... no luck. Vista 32bit SP1 would hang at different points of installation. I tried every version of the bios from original to the latest. I put a cheap celeron in; everything is ok. I installed vista sp1, drivers, updates ... no problem. I take the cpu out and put the q9550 in and vista won't even boot. Any help is appreciated as i'm going crazy; it's been 2 weeks i've worked on this with no luck. All bios settings are set to default; do i need to increase the voltage for CPU, is the board faulty? if so how come celeron works fine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted September 16, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted September 16, 2008 That would suggest the MB BIOS is not detecting the CPU properly or you may need to use a specific BIOS version with that CPU but the fact the Celeron is working would suggest the memory is not the problem. I would suggest contacting the MB maker and see what they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
