Soooo many people are having trouble getting it stable. So I'm trying to contact newegg to return it and pick up and fx 8350 and just over clock it to 5ghz. L!ckALotAPus 1 Awards

Now after you get that menu, select your boot drive and as soon as you do, start tapping F8 again... the Safe Mode option screen should come up.. Awards

Needs the past to transfer the heat to the heat sink. If that is good check your memory. Pull one tick out at time and test each stick. http://www.newark.com/arctic-silver/as5-3-5g/heat-sink-compound/dp/25M6617?ost=25M6617&ad=81515568621&selectedCategoryId=&CMP=KNC-GUSA-GEN-SHOPPING-NEW-ARCTIC-SILVER&gclid=CLS7mtmPgMoCFZOCaQodweIFVQ
