I have also tried all of the known "DFI tricks" but the problem remains.

Perhaps this is why the board came back to newegg in the first place.
My board does that at about 1.3~1.35v with my E8500 but it works fine with my E8190 right up to 1.6 + (I havent tried anymore with this chip)

I have never had this issue with any other CPU Q6600, E6850, E8200, E8400 etc maybe its chip specific
