Ok, now that we have that over with...! this board will hang every time at the scsi card on a soft boot {or restart}. It will boot ok if i do a cold boot; ie shut it off for about 30 seconds. I know the card is good as I have tested it in my other system and it will reboot every time.
the problem is in the MB. I dont think it is clearing its registers on a soft boot. I have called ataptec...say it's the MB. Called DFI and they dont have a clue...said that they are going to investigate......any Ideas anyone?
I think I am just going to get an Aopen ak73 pro {A } Never had any problems with there boards. This is my first dfi board..performance and features are great but this problem is unacceptable!......help!!!!

At the risk of sounding like a broken record (or CD?), what type of power supply are you using with this power hungry monster?

if it's hard-switched, run for the hills...

the power supply is an Aopen 300 watt switching unit, my voltages all read fine
3.3 = 3.33
12 = 12.07
5 = 4.97

I'm wondering if 300 is too low for this monster? Have you tried it in minimum config (just RAM and video)?
