*bangs head agaisnt wall*
Suprised im still sane at the moment, but after a very frustrating day and half searching forums for possible solutions and almost trying everything I can.
Now I bought a Intel i7 860, P55 Sli Mobo, Geil 8gb Black Dragon 1600mhz C9 Kit (Possible cause) & Coolermaster 1000W PSU, running with a evga GTS 250 1gb. Now i built the baby and reinstalled windows 7 64 bit no problems what so ever! It posted first time every reboot and had no dramas, even installed all my drivers etc with reboots, and it was fine. I then went on and installed bad company 2, went to play and got into the game play for 30secs then it just froze! hmm ok have to do a hard reset at this point, turn the computer back on and it doesnt post. I get a b8 debug code, so i clear the cmos, i get an ff code, no post. I turn the power off at the psu, unplug the chord for 5 secs, replug in and power up. No post, displays b8 code again. Do a cmos clear in the loop, i then get a bc code, no post.
Then i walk away start browsing the web for possible solutions, come back to my computer and boot up, then wat happens!? It posts!! So i take that oppurtinuty to set my ram timings rather than auto (which hadnt done previously) i manage to get into windows and everything seems fine, i then start playin some bc2 everything maxed out i get about 30mins play in, then it freezes. Hard reset. Back at square 1, I rinse and repeat, nothing. I go to bed, over the problem, wake up, boot up, and look at that it posts!! I get into windows, i start searching forums again. Then bang it freezes. Hmm ok, so i try 1 ram dimm, i try 2, i try swithing them around. Nothing again. I come on here and browse some more, go back to it and boot up, look at that it posts! I get into the bios, then it freezes in bios!! and i cant get any further then this point now. It just seem to keep gettin a b8, bc, FF, d0 codes with b8 being the most common, but it really seems to be random.
Now this just seems so bizzare!? ive tried almost everything, im not sure what bios version (would be stock) im running but i cant even really update it cause of the issues im having. The only thing I can seem to point it to is the ram, as its pretty much a new system besides the hard drives & video card and it doesnt make sense that I installed windows all my programs and it posted every time fine, now its its just weird. Does anyone also know what these codes mean? Any help or troubleshoot questions would be greatly appreciated.
About to put my fist through the board.
