Hello All,
I've just about given up all hope to figuring out my issue. My network guys bought 6 machines that use this mobo and a WD Sata 3 HDD which I know is overkill. The cpu is an E7500 along with 8GB DDR3 ram. Everything loads fine with Windows 7 64 Professional but I've noticed horrible compile times with the Java compiler. I compared this build with my Dell Inspiron laptop also with Windows 7 64 Professional - apples to apples. The laptop has just 4GB ram and sports a unstellar T7500 cpu. T7500 < E7500. Yet, my laptop gets a consistent 2:45 compile time and nothing over 3:32. The new machine averages 6:44 with times ranging from 1:11 to 16:07. I've run every benchmark I know and the benchmarks show the new machine should be clobbering my laptop. I've installed Windows 7 several times trying different combos and all get the same results.
Is the issue with the motherboard? It's using the latest BIOS and I see no issues in the event log or device manager. At this point, my only option is send back all of the machines.
