Default win7 vm on ep45-ud3r

List,

MB: ga-ep45-ud3r
CPU: Intel LGA 775 E7600 C2Duo running at stock speed
RAM: 2x2GB at 800 MHz

Using latest bios (F11) memtest86+ passes fine.

I might have some bad bios settings that are fouling up virtual
machine installs.

Bare metal installs are flawless.
Winxp sp3, Centos 5.4, and OpenSuSE 11.2 all installed and run fine.

I moved on to some Virtual Machine installs in Centos and Opensuse.
Using qemu-kvm, Winxp sp3 installed/runs easily and quickly.

All joy stopped when I tried to install Win7. It fails to install in
under kvm in both Centos and Opensuse.
Moreover it fails in exactly the same place: when the Desktop opens
after the 3rd boot. The
kvm log shows the same error 0x000821 unhandled VM exception

After trying with 2 different OS installs (& Opensuse has very up-2-
date builds of kvm) I suspect that
the trouble is in my setup and specifically the bios.

So far only C1|CE and EIST are disabled (Adv. Menu). Next I will try
and disable the C state values and try again.

If anyone else has similar experience good or bad, chime in.
