panheimer: I hope things work out better for you with the new board. A shame the P7N didn't work out for you. Good luck!
loonym: I can't help but think I triggered that rant. I've read through this 1000 post thread in its entirety, though I should probably do it again soon considering that I know a lot more now than I did the first time through and would get more out of it. I'm hardly new to building my own computers, but rather to tweaking hardware and such. This is the first time I've had issues with stability at stock (which is what I've always run) and frankly it's frustrating for me. Diagnosing random reboots is not something I'm familiar with, and seeing other people have similar issues and then give up after fiddling with it for a while is a bit discouraging. On the plus side, the reboots aren't frequent enough (usually, though even this is inconsistent) to keep me from enjoying this awesome system I've built. It's a definite step up from everything I've used before.
I'm gonna up my northbridge voltage a couple notches to see if that makes a difference. I'm unsure of what other settings to tweak in the BIOS to try to counter this, so suggestions would be great. Definitely been appreciating your help so far, loonym; I find it rare that people bother to help out beginners at all.
