I tried it with an Agena 9600 and then with a Orleans 3000+. I've connected it to; Fortron 700 GLN, PC P&C 510 SLi and Seasonic 650 HT. I've tried a single X800XL and a single HD 3850.

I tried it in the case and on the box it came in. I've tried it with the case power switch and a jumper on the power pins.

I am not buying more ram just to toy with this 99usd mobo. Perhaps I'll try Gigabyte. Guess my AMD adventure is over for a while. I am putting my HD 3850s back in BX2 rig. F this, I don't need the headache.
Relax

But I understand what it feels like and why you'd wanna throw it away. I was very fed up with this system too and I believe its the MB/BIOS support. And no doubt I was thinking of getting the Gigabyte DQ6 to try becuase then it'll show me fully if the problem was Phenom or K9A2. Like those saw who moved from DFI to GBT. Benched 2.85GHz 1.3V for 6 hour with no errors whatsoever at least 4 times in 3 weeks, ran consistently more than 14 hours per day at 2.64-2.75GHz 1.232V every day and now cannot boot plus 2.42GHz with 1.6V 7 days later. Talk about consistency.
