Thanks guys. Well after my computer restarted about 15 times it finally booted up and I was able to re-enable hyperthreading.

I just bought this system from iBuyPower.com and I've had nothing but problems with it. It can't be normal for a system to lock up like that just by disabling hyperthreading?

I'm also getting loud random clicks and pops comming out of my MOTU mkII even when their is no audio playing. It scared the shit out of me. I'm using the latest MOTU drivers. Are there any known problems between MOTU and Gigabyte motherboards that I may not know?

And to top it off Acid 7 Pro crashes on about 75% of the songs I try to open up. Songs that play perfectly fine on my 2 other old computers. Some open perfectly fine.

I'm so dissapointed right now, my 5yr old system runs better than this. I'll probably be sending this system back in a couple of days if I can't resolve these major issues. Here are my system specs maybe you guys might have some pointers.
