PCI card locking on Gigabyte 965P DS3 (rev 1.3)

[aaronking]

I've just finished putting together a new machine(see below). It appears that this E4300 overclocks quite nicely as it seems stable at 3.6 (400X9) at just 1.45V. Still have a lot of stability testing to do. I am however having trouble installing a PCI card. I have tried two: Gina 24 Audio and a D-Link DWL-520+ network adapter. In both cases, the system boots and seems fine, but then locks after a couple of minutes. This even occurred at default settings. I read something about the DS3 only supporting PCI 2.3. Is it possible that my cards are simply not going to work as they are not the right protocol?

Nevermind. It's working now. Love this chip! Orthos stable at 3.2 with 1.3125 volts. It will probably go lower, but I haven't had time to test futher.

Any idea how you got it to work? What was the issue?

I initially tried installing the card(s) before SP2 and all Gigabyte drivers had been installed. Once I had all drivers installed and SP2 updated it worked fine.
