    well, i've tried the suggestions given by mech, but its still freezing and the buzzing continues. i've contacted asus support. im sure they will be of no help either, as they always are. they have no customer support at all.

    Still cant load OS....

    bios is too big of file to load onto a bootable floppy. i've tried to load only the afudos and the 0502 bios, but i need the start up files too. if i make a startup disk, then the 0502 bios will not fit.

    ok, i've checked with the corsair recommended settings and it seems that 4-4-4-12 wont work. i've tried that setting and my pc froze. so im assuming that was the reasoning why. i've got it set to 5-5-5-15-22 1.9v. i'll just leave it at that. not much of a difference.
