Then also I can boot up fine, run linpack etc, then when I reboot it fails to even post. I can try numerous times and all I get is a black screen. I have to clear cmos to get it to boot. I want an RMA, this coupled with the inability to run DDR1200 despite everything being tried since I got the board has confirmed in my mind the motherboard must have a fault.

Thing is I cant find Asus Australia's contact details, they have an email sevice but I have to fill out about 50 fields before I can send the report to them and I would much prefer to just talk to someone in their tech department to arrange the RMA. I have tried everything I know, and I have simply had enough of this boards problems.
Now does that not sound a bit familar to my issue .. so is it board or is it CPU in my case .. well i think mine is CPU, but again it can be the memory controller on mobo.

Remember the AMD CPU's if you push to hard the on board CPU memory controller will flake out and then POOF error out or BSOD.
