Hi,
First of all, my motherboard is an Asus Maximus Extreme and my processor is a Intel Quad 9550. I bought them October 8 2007 and they were Brand new. No used part at all. Since this time, i have the problem described below. Let me tell you that' my english isnt perfect and my grammar isnt the best thing ever.
It is normal that i can't install my operating system with default setting on the motherboard ? I mean when i choose load default setup in my BIOS and then i start installing my OS, it freeze before it ask me the language i'll like to choose. I tried Windows Vista ultimate 64 Bits and Windows Seven ultimate 64 Bits and it freeze all the time before the language screen. The processor is at default at 2.83GHz and i cant do anything. I also tried Linux and no luck, it froze while the installation. I tried every kind of bios available on asus website and no luck at all it still freeze all the time.
Now great thing. i cant install any operating system with default setting but if i'm overclocking my cpu to 3.6GHz, i can install it, i can do everything normally ( i mean like a default setup pc).
Also, 3.6 GHZ is the minimum i must run it, because if i decrease the cpu to like 3.5GHz or Below, i can't install my operating system.
I called the store who sold me the motherboard and the cpu and i asked him what should i do, and he told me ''it totally normal this kind of motherboard and processor is done to be overclock before it can work properly and he told me just put a decent watercooling system in it and you'll be fine. Now that i put a watercooling in it, i still cant install it with default setting. I know there something wrong with something in this clone. Can someone help me out there ? i'm mad, and i getting mad because it cost me more and more everytime.
