I have just rebuilt my PC using a DP67BG board along with a i5 2500k cpu
and 8Gb 1600 RAM (2 x4GB sticks Crucial Ballistix). I had a problem
getting windows 7 Pro 64 bit to install, it would fail at the unpacking
files stage. I ended up taking one of the memory sticks out leaving 1 x
4Gb in slot 1, windows then loaded correctly. I have subsequently
updated the BIOS to ver 1979.

Does anyone know if this a known issue or if there another setting I
have missed in the BIOS? I have not overclocked the machine and it is
running at default settings. I don't really want to have to remove
memory every time I reinstall windows.

It could simply be a bad memory stick. Run Memtest86+ on it, and see if
the stick fails.
