You might need to try Process Explorer. It lets you dig a little deeper into what's running on your system. It's freeware.

We're on the same page my friend. One step ahead of you.

Looks like the interups are the cause:


I've pulled both sticks of ram. It's G.Skill 2x4gb ddr3 1600 ripjaws.

I've also put it in different slots, still the same issue.

The stuff ran fine in my AMD server.

So why am I getting all these interups? Besides the motherboard & CPU, all parts have been in older systems. GTX 470 is confirmed to work fine, as is the ram, PSU, etc etc.

Edit:

Tried booting in safe mode. It makes no difference.

Eiither it's the motherboard or the CPU. I don't have a second motherboard or CPU to test, so I'm not sure. I'm thinking it's the CPU, just a hunch.
