LOL are they all like you????

BTW Some of we "guys " are girls!!!

Oops, my bad

I'm usually not such a PITA. I've been building my own rigs for years and am considered an advanced user (OCN and XS) but this time, I just can't figure out what's wrong. The BSODs are so random that they're making me dizzy.

No driver pb, no RAM pb, no CPU pb, no PSU pb, no graphic cards pb, no HDD pb ....

Anyway, i just unpacked my new MB. I'm gonna install it see if that does the trick.

Ok will be interested to hear how it goes.
Good luck.

So it wasn't the MB after all, but a friend of mine and myself finally isolated the pb, turns out it was the CPU that's defective against all odds.

We returned it to the official distributor of intel here in HK, I'll get a new one on Monday.

That was quite a ride lol

Good news.
Thanks for letting us know.

Hi guys,

Just to let you know that it was indeed a defective CPU that was the culprit.

I RMA'd it with intel and everything is rock solid now. Thanks for all the help
