    I just got a MSI K9N SLI board and put a AMD FX 62 in it. with dual GeForce 7900 in SLI.

    ok heres my problem. when i boot up some times it will freeze on checking ram in the bios. u kon it says checking ram 2000kb or w.e ... done. then wont move on. some times it will freeze later after the Cheking IDE drives. and soem tiems it will Boot normaly.

    any ideas?

    clear the cmos to see if that does anything to your problem. check for bios updates.

    Is it(2)1 gig sticks? If it is try 1 stick at a time when you boot. Sounds like a bad stick.

    Also, what BRAND of ram are you using, this board is very very fickle about ram. You may have to adjust voltage and timings.
