SOYO SY-P4I875P DRAGON 2 V1.0 User Manual page 127

My system intermittently locks up, during Windows installation.
1. Go to BIOS and load the optimized defaults.
2. Check our website for any BIOS updates.
3. If it still has the problem, remove all other add-on cards except CPU
(and CPU Fan)/ Memory/ Video card/Hard disk. See if you can
finish Windows installation. Then put peripherals in one by one to
identify which one causes the lockup.
BIOS Issue
