Now I am pretty sure that the CPU is flaky. Keep having the same problem intermently first was the SLI bridge on video cards. then bad hard drive then mother board had to be sent back 3 times was never bad. different mother board the one in it now (listed above) then said ram and replaced also at one point in time said power supply was bad since retested it and it is good. I want to fix this flaky comp. I am thinking that the best route would be neew motherboard and cpu also should get new ram since i am ddr2. My question is. What motherboard /CPU to get. Not wanting to spend a fortune. Or another fix for a flaky CPU. Thanks Fellow Idiot./Goat Awards

If you're gonna do it, just go all out and start from scratch, except on the graphics cards, thats still a nice card. I just got an Asus P8Z68 series mobo, and an i7 2600k, I am well pleased with it myself.

I wouldnt mind a faster computer but I would rather have one that worked. Am i totally misunderstanding what overclocking does? And if it isnt a CPU problem that would leave the case. Another reason to think it is the CPU. I worked with Ruthless and Beer clown. Beer clown and I built comps at almost the same time. Same chip and case and ram video cards. The only difference was Motherboard. I returned my motherboard 3 times und3er warranty cause it was showing bad. then got the intel one. Beer clown was having problems like I had as wel;l and returned his motherboard at least once before the warranty wore out Now lots have said that it is the case. where should I check the case? Also I have noticed that I keep installing the same 4 win updates I look at back installs and the same ones have been installed like 5 times. Could that be my problem? and if so any ideas on how to fix? I looked online and not much information and when they say download this and run even on microsoft forums makes me nervous. thanks I know i can ramble and my spelling is horrible. Thanks Goat Awards
