Solved Random reboots, error reporting calls it BSOD, next gen hardware

My refund processed, so any motherboard on Amazon for $145-ish that has a Z97 chipset and will handle the demands I need it to (you should know me by now) if the one I linked to above isn't quite the best for the buck...

The one you linked to above looks pretty nice. Although I prefer Asus, if you are willing to spend a few extra dollars, this looks like a nice board. Just compare this with the one you picked and see which you like best.

That looks pretty sweet, but it puts me about $45 short.

My birthday is next tuesday... anyone reading this want to be really really nice and throw some more in here?

lol okay I tried.

It actually doesn't seem too different, except more real estate and whizbangs on the board.

Yea, I think the one you picked will work for you and do anything needed. The LED was nice and can help if you find problems and dual lan ports are nice. A few other things, but are they worth the extra money? That's always the question.

Yeah, the board I've got has LEDs for RAM, GFX, CPU, (insert one or two more)... but also, if I've got a problem, I'll figure it out the way we always figured things out before those LED's... deductive reasoning... muahaha I'll order that board in the morning... I'm out for the night.
