Hello,

Right after replacing the case with Corsair 230T, I have been getting random BSOD (please see attached). What happened was I left the extra motherboard stand-offs in place that were meant for mATX board. SO after installing my ATX board into it, it would not power up at all. So as it stands, some pins on the motherboard were shorted and everything seems to work fine right after lifting the motherboard. Also, after removing extra stand-offs everything runs fine, except for the BSOD's.
So my motherboard is dead?

Hello watchme, welcome to SF :) .
Are you overclocking your CPU by any chance?
AMD specifies its speed at 3200MHz, while the dumps state 3840MHz.
