I've just brought the above board for a friend, along with a Q6600 and 2gb of OCZ pc-6400.
However there is something very wierd going on with it. When i change the SATA RAID/AHCI Mode to either Raid or AHCI rather than disable the windows setup will blue screen when it finishes loading all the drivers and gets to the starting point were it says starting windows.
If i run the setup with the sata mode set to disable it does not crash.
There is something else very strange when set to raid or ahci the board does not give me the option of the ctrl+i to enter the raid bios.
After post if should come up with the screen
Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager option ROM v.......

RAID Volumes :
None Defined
Physical Disks :
Port Drive Model Serial Size Type/Status
0 WD1600.... ....... 160gb Non-RAID Disk
press <ctrl-i> to enter confiruration utility
However it comes up with
Serial ATA AHCI BIOS version Isrc 1.07 00042086

**This version supports only hard disk and cdrom drives **
Please wait this will take a few seconds
Controller bus00, device#1F, Function#02, 06 ports, 02 devices
port-00 Hard disk, WDC WD160000........
(drive is controller by the raid bios)
port-01.....
port-02 cdrom, optiarc dvd-rw...
AHCI bios installed
it then gives the
Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager option ROM v.......

lines but nothing below and no option to enter the bios, it just skips past.
Has anyone else seen this, or know if its likely to be a duff board?
