Hi everyone,

Just finished my new build. Intel i7 2700k, evga gtx580 sc, 8GB g. skill ripjaws x @1600MHZ (2X 4GB) Model F3-12800CL8D-8GBXM, Cooler Master silent pro 1000w psu, and the maximus 4 extreme-Z. My first boot up was successful, booted into BIOS setup. When I powered off the PC and turned it on again for a fresh install of windows 7, the MOBO keeps getting stuck at code 04. according to the manual, it means "PCH initialization before microcode loading." I don't know what that means. I've made sure everything was plugged in right, I'm only running on the bare minimum equipment, with only 1 stick of RAM, and nothing works. It boots fine once you reset CMOS, but if the system is restarted, it goes back to code 04, then shuts off. Please help!!! I'm dying to play BF3 already!!!!! Thanks!!!
