http://www.intel.com/design/motherbd/software/dcc/download.htm The D975XBX2 is listed for downloading the Intel Desktop Control Center, and I can confirm IDCC does work for me, so I am guessing it was meant 975X motherboards but Intel has not updated all their links related to IDCC.

By any chance are you using additional monitoring programs? I experienced the exact same issue with the Intel Desktop Utilities when I had nTune installed, which I removed from my system and this resolved the freezing issue with IDU. I recommend RivaTuner for pretty much all GPU related...

"Intel Active Monitor does not support Intel desktop boards based on 915G, 915P, 925X, and future chipsets. For hardware monitoring on these boards, use Intel Desktop Utilities," quoted directly from the Active Monitor site, which I suppose means it will not work with your 965 chipset...

"Use of the 1x4 power connector is required with ATX12V power supplies with 2x10 connectors when using PCI Express cards that can consume up to 75W." Straight from the D975XBX2 manual, which I suppose indicates the additional 1x4 Molex is not necessary if a 2x12 main power connector is being...

I read the entire thread at xtremesystems as well. It is a pretty good resource for overclocking with this motherboard, something I haven't attempted yet but may try. Right now I just wish to resolve this BIOS issue if possible, but if I have to live with it I will as it does not seem to be...

Yes, the BIOS was freezing with the version 2333 BIOS as well. Except for this BIOS issue and the constantly lit HD activity LED (another seemingly widespread problem with this motherboard related to the Marvel RAID controller) I am satisfied with the overall stability of the D975XBX2 as it has...

A few days ago I built a new PC with the D975XBX2 motherboard, booted up initially and flashed the BIOS to version 2333, which was the latest at the time, and have since flashed to the more recent version 2395. The system (E6600 CPU, 2GB Corsair TWIN2X2048-8500C5 RAM, WD 250GB HD, X-Fi...
