calling everyone with a DS3 and Tuniq Tower 120 - does the Tuniq cover the northbridge? or can you fit a 3rd party HSF on the northbridge?

Currently sporting F9 BIOS, 2 gigs of G.Skill RAM (I have th voltage at +.2), a 6300, and an EVga 7900 GS.
Any advice? this is starting to annoy me

I have a S3 new install with an E4300 and it will not allow me into the BIOS. "Del" just gets me a message "Preparing to Enter Setup" and nothing further
I tried to install XP, lets me load SATA drivers from Floppy but stops cold at Installing Windows and stays there
BIOS startup messages show correct CPU, Memory and attached drives

I'm sick of this board already. I just can't get it to work with windows. I've reinstalled about 10 times doing it different ways each time: using F6 preinstall method with various versions of Jmicron driver; slipstreaming various jmicron drivers into the setup cd; installing on a Raid 0 on the jmicron ports; installing to a single drive on jmicron ports; installing to a single drive on the intel ports; installing with bios setting Sata in native mode/not native.
I'm stumped. Every time I install, it completes fine and then boots up the first time with no problems. On the first reboot, it hangs immediately. It seems to hang after the jgogo.sys driver, but I can't be sure if that's what's doing it. Anybody have any ideas? I've never ever had a problem like this in 10 years of building computers.

What PSU? Anything less than 500W/30A : need to upgrade.

What the heck are the diffs b/t v1-2-3?
<--v1.0 owner and very happy
ps
Whatever happened w/the F10 bios? I read a few posts here about insane overclocks no longer working, but did anyone with a normal overclock (i.e. to 3.2GHz) have any issues?
*edit*
FWIW, I just installed the F10 BIOS....had an interesting past hour. Possibly, I could've avoided the hassle by clearing the CMOS jumper, but that's a big PITA based on how much crap I've got hooked up.
It took me about an hour to get it to boot using the same settings for OCing as before. I'm currently sitting at the same 8 x 400 = 3200MHz@1.325v and stable, from what I can see.
There seem to be some more IDE/SATA options in F10 vs. F7. Lots of AHCI/IDE/RAID crap that I've forgotten what means what. :roll:
But, I have tried multiple cold and warm boots. So far, so good. Ran a few benchmarks, virtually no diff. *shrug* Should've just left it at F7, but I like to tinker, unfortunately.

We are carrying Rev 3.3.

Again, what brand memory and what voltage? Also, are you still using F6 bios? Have you tried F7? Have you tried setting "Optimal Defaults" in the bios?
And for those with problems with IDE drives, I was reading but can not find it again, where delaying/increasing the IDe timing in the bios may help with booting up.
