After replacing the PSU, taking out the 7850 and setting it to stock 3.4 it failed OCCT after 2 seconds. Then I ran it again and it passed, ran it again and failed after 30 seconds. I put it back to default settings with turbo boost on and it failed after a few seconds/mintues sometimes passed as well. The graphs look pretty much the same as before. It's usually a different core every time.
I have to ask, how reliable is OCCT, really? It seems to be the most unreliable part of all this troubleshooting. If the cpu/mobo sucks, shouldn't it just fail everytime? Why does it pass sometimes and fail almost immediatly others? Is OCCT not able to deal with z77 boards or ivy bridge?
Assuming I have to replace my mobo, I figure I'll add a detail about that. I haven't had any noticeable problems with it however at start up dr. Debug flashes a few times, then turns off, just like in this video (except numbers are different):

Not sure if that's normal, couldn't find any info on it.
thanks
