Motherboard: GA-EP45-UD3R
Part Id: F2-8800CL5D-4GBPI (see link)
CPU: Intel Dual Core 3.16GHZ
Went through the endless reboot issue when started up the first time. Thought could be memory so shuffled around from the dual channel and it worked in slot 1/2 (hope that four slots filled works!) and successfully installed windows. Then windows started to hang at the bootup, thought it was the Gigabyte drivers, so reformatted and tried again. FRESH install still hanging. I've seen that others online mention using G. Skill successfully (see link for model details). I'm RMA'ing the board and getting a replacement due to these issues. Heard these boards were picky on RAM so almost gave up but everyone says such great things, I'm guessing I'm the fluke rather than the norm of the experience and want to stick with this quality of a board rather than pay for an ASUS or another brand.
Anyone running this RAM correctly? I want to avoid fighting New Egg on this memory for a return and would rather keep it if it works just fine. The issues i mention seem like motherboard issues and a replacement should work fine, would you think?
