I've heard horror stories of boards being returned that still didn't function properly! frown.gif
Like UZ7 ....I want more details!

Sweet! Still running my 1.0 bios as i've had Zero issues and will remain to run untill issues arrise.

Next week I'll put it through the ringer. This ASRock board will be on a test bench. Right now my ASUS is doing great. The board looks brand new. And smells new. Looks like it's never been touched. Oh the tech at ASRock tested it at low settings with a new BIOS installed. Also added LAN and sound drivers to it. More to follow sometime next week. thumb.gif

I have no idea what that code means. I haven't had any BSOD of lately. You might be getting that because of your CPU being clocked to high. Clock that thing down or you kill it. Where's your vcore at? Let me guess over 1.50?

Ya it's at 1.525 just trying to do a couple 3d mark 11 runs with my 7970, trying for p11,000+ on a single gpu, no multithreading, on air. Before it would work, but then I cleared Cmos again for new Asus bios a while back, worked fine for a long time untill today when i cleared Cmos again because of sound card issues.

But if you want the debug code, I took this from the manual: thumb.gif

That's pretty cool. Gave it a shot and scored 6599 on 3dmark11 almost 1000 points higher than my previous score.

Got my pcmark7 score confused with 3dmark, it actually improved my score by 1700 points in 3dmark.
