Problems with my new rig

[Awoozl]

Hmm it still freezes, no BSOD though. That happened only after I installed Skype though.

And now I got the same BSOD again -.-

Disabled the onboard sound again. Seems to be working for now.

Or not... Same crashing continues. This time I disabled both the onboard soundcard and LAN, now it gets stuck on the windows loading screen. Once again switched the SSD to the old rig and it loads up fine.

I'm starting to think the mobo is broken. If it was the memory, I think it woulda crashed during the 2h I managed to run Prime95 for. Any other opinions?

I think it's your SSD - or maybe it's the SATA on the motherboard? A dodgy northbridge perhaps

It's not the SSD. As I've said the SSD works on another PC, and the HDD from the other PC crashes on the new one as well.

Then my vote is with yours on a faulty motherboard

RMA'd the mobo. Back to waiting <.<

have you tried changing from IDE to ACPI in BIOS?

For your information, memtest86 does not require an OS to function
