Well i have given up hope with this computer.

I shelled out way to much for this pile of **** and it BSOD's in FEAR/BF2/ANYTHING I WANT TO DO

When i hook up my lan cable... BOOM BSOD
when i hook up my camera...... BOOM BSOD
when i try to overclock my video card. BOOM BSOD

it just is not worth ****ing with this pile of **** and i'm fed up with it....

$290 is what i know i will end up havening eventually and i'm close to 35 rep so i can sell of this hardware to someone who wants it.

look to build from the case up....

Well, an E6300 and a Gigabyte S3 should fit in $290.. then you need to find some money for some RAM, maybe a new PSU.. and that should do..

Don't give up yet!

The most probable problem is either faulty RAM or bad settings on your RAM.

Head over to DFI-Street and search through the Stock Speed, and fine the exact timings of your RAM. Then set them and see if that helps - you may have to reinstall Windows.

Also, run MemTest and try updating the BIOS.

It's not the ram - ram is [email protected] 2-2-2-8 and it passes 27 hours in memtest and i just cant get this stable at 2.8ghz and that's the why i built it. It's probably a driver issue but i'm sick of driver issues and all that other ****
