Hi again, I've had 4+ more bluescreens since my last reply. I don't know what else to try other than another full re-install of windows from scratch, which I would like to avoid.

Do you have anything else I could try?

I am not even sure if a re-install would help. it may be hardware

Thanks for the reply.

Great, how would I find out which is the faulty hardware? I'm guessing my processor, as it is a new mobo, new ram and i very much doubt it to be my 5850. Prime 95 shows the error on a core when I run the blend test, so does OCCT, images attached. It fails too. I'm guessing processor.

Arghh, just so happens to be the most expensive change :P Oh well, I'll just go for the 1090T or 1100T black edition processors instead since they're better.

I imagine I'll ring AMD and tell them my problem with my processor, and they'll RMA it?

Having read more into the error I'm having with Prime95, I have found that it is apparentely not just caused by the processor, like I first thought, as Blend test in prime95 stresses everything. It manages to get to test 7 (it got to test 10 on all but 1 worker on the blend before it crashed but I took the picture before then) before BSODing again. Image is attatched.

So if Blend tests everything, how can I be sure of what hardware is the problem? It also fails the intel burn test too, so something must be wrong.

edit:

I have just realised I've had my SSD and everything on IDE so I went ahead and changed it according to this post here AHCI : Enable in Windows 7 / Vista . I don't know if this would cause a BSOD but I thought I'd do it anyway since it is supposed to be on it.
