Oh, one more thing. If any of you reading this could let me know where there's a good overclocking guide for an ASUS P8Z68-v Pro, or an EVGA 560Ti SC, please let me know. Thanks, Montana Ron PS...been snowing here since yesterday. already have a foot on the ground and supposed to continue...

OK, all, here's what happened. Called Intel, and had to tell them the steps I took to show it was the CPU. They agreed rather quickly. Asked for the codes on the chip, and then issued an "Incident" number, and sent an e-mail to verify the info. (I had a choice between two plans; 1. return...

Randy, thanks for the quick reply. I know about the Kingston problem, but that was eliminated by the updated firmware. As to the other things, Ive set up computers before, and know my way around a BIOS, except for some overclocking, so I've checked all the things I can and they are set...

Hi all. I see there are a whole lot of BSOD posts, but I didn't see one like mine, so here goes... I was Facebooking last night, and the monitor went black and the computer started a reset. When resetting, as Windows starting screen begins, the computer freezes and I get the BSOD. The BSOD...
