problem with gigabyte mobo

Archived from groups: alt.comp.hardware.homebuilt (More info?)

anyone using the Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-SLI, ATX, DDDR400, PCI-E, Gbit Lan, USB
2.0, 1394, AC'97 Audio, 8 x SATA, Raid

just everything I start up from cold it restarts again. I turned on errors
and it blue screens to say IRQ must be equal or something ? any ideas ?

I have disconnected everything but HD, memory and gfx cards and it still
happens

I have a good PSU, it is +5v and is says 30A ? there is a gigabyte power
add-on I have installed with blue lights - but as you can see I am a techo
idiot so can not describe these things well.

Yes +5 volt VSB should be 2.0A not the +5 Volt rail. other than the actual
external drives CD/DVD/HDD the mother boards draw very little on the 12v
side really, I have some 650 watt N+1 dual hot swap PSU's here and they are
unable to power an Athlon 64 system or the LGA775 P4 as they only deliver
1.0a on the +5 Volt VSB. Symptoms are exactly as you describe, yet a single
680 watt Thermaltake W0049 PSU has no problems at all if you follow the link
you will see the +5 Volt VSB is 2.0A.
