I thought I was gonna be off the hook with the 8400, but, alas, I crashed. (Page fault in non paged area)
However, suppose the 6870 was in, 5 or 6 crashes would have probably occurred during that time instead of 1.
Also, when I booted back up after the crash I got an error from my integrated sound software/hardware...
"set dts headspk apo bass config settings fail"
I still get sound, and maybe I just got the message because the sound chip didn't like the bsod in the first place. Also, not completely relevant, but I was planning on getting a better sound card & speakers soon.
Edit: Now, again, I feel like it's the combination between my mobo and ram.
This is speculation, but it's as if the motherboard and ram don't agree, and the video cards are the trigger for more stress between the two. With the weaker video card, there is less stress on ram, or something like that. And with the 6870, there might be more complicated requirements/tasks, causing unrest between the ram/mobo. Alas, I really don't know.
I'm going to run memtest for awhile, once with my 8400 in, and another time with my 6870.
I remember asus never called me back last week, I'll see if they will work with me now.
