I have tried everything I have read about the x58 classified and gone over all the posts and have used iboot, the pre-install guide from this forum and I get the same results every time and I have run out of options/patience.

Whether I use iBoot or pre-install my system reboots. In -x -v mode I see it load all the extensions but when it gets to the hardware it shuts down and reboots.

Any ideas and if not any qiqabite boards have any luck with the i7 980x cpu?

Thanks,

BTW the GFX card is a Galaxy GTX 470

Have you tried loading with just bare min. hardware? 4GB of ram, 1 x HD, & nothing in the pcie slots? Also have your settings at default if you haven't already. "Load defaults" at that.
