 Benjamin,
     I have a 2 similar motherboards (P5K-e Wifi), and used to use
 another similar model (P5B Deluxe), but purposely use nVidia cards so
 I haven't run into this issue, and used to have a cousin of your
 processor (Q6600). I also run CURRENT.
     Some diagnostics to try:
     1. Have you checked for BIOS updates for your board? If it's not
 fully up to date I highly suggest investing in a thumbdrive and put
 the BIOS image on the drive, then flash from the in-BIOS flashing
 utility. The Windows utility is trash and will brick your motherboard
 50%+ of the time.
     2. Does 8-CURRENT boot, install, and work?
 Cheers,
 -Garrett
