Where can you set the CAS latency and such for RAM in the BIOS on this board? I've been reading the reviews where they set that stuff and I can't find it in the BIOS. Or do you need another program to do that?

got the board yesterday together with all other parts for my new gaming pc, i can see im not the only person with the same problem. soon as i put 2 sticks on dual chanell i get BSOD, got it down to 333 and it's working fine. Now talked to Gigabyte support they send me by e-mail new bios F4p, didn't help me, they also told me to increase voltage on sticks to 0.2 which i did, it was stable running like that for maybe 15-20 min. Now maybe i did wrong thing but i got RMA from new egg, waiting on ballistix's which should be here tomorrow.

Also forgot to add that when I first tried to start the pc up and I had the two hdd's plugged into the SB SATA slots between the cpu and agp slots it didn't even register them and wouldn't let me into the raid menu to create a raid set before installing windows so I had to use the SII ones.
Thanks,

Ballistyx,
Thanks for the quick reply.
So at that MS knowledge base article, basically what it was saying is do a reinstall?
This was a fresh install of MSxp but I will do another one, this time using the drivers from SImage instead of the ones on the CD. Have people had problems with those drivers on the cd? As that is what I used.
BTW, couldn't get http://12.24.47.40/display/2n/kb/article.asp?aid=10469 to work, but did find from
http://www.siimage.com/products/sataraid.asp the link - http://12.24.47.40/article.asp?article=10469&p=2
I think the first one was missing the last URL variable.
I am going to try a re-install of win xp now using that new driver.
I'm glad that it only takes about 10 minutes for a full install and format lol.
I'll get back as soon as I have done the re-install to let you know if the blue screen has disappeared.
Cheers,
Robin

Weirdest thing though, at other times, like when opening ms word or just for random reasons i get the same blue screen of death that are reported by many others but it quickly flicks through to the restart before i can write any of the info down.

and the RAID menu that says "Press F4 or CRTL+S To Enter RAID Menu" or watever, is ONLY for the Silicon RAID, thats why your drives didn't show up on the NVIDIA controller....and its supposed to be better to run them off the Silicon controller anyway....

the only think i can think of is to loosen your RAM timings....how does memtest and prime run????
