Well, I am fairly confident it is my CPU that is faulty, if it isn't that, then I am one extremely unlucky guy to have purchased 2 faulty sets of RAM, and 2 faulty mobos!!!

The processor is the only piece of hardware that I haven't changed with all the different hardware configurations I have tested, so it has to be that which is causing my problems..

As you said, I will find out soon enough... Though I think it might have to be the week after next before I can get my new CPU...

I have been trying to get a hold of a Xeon W3520 instead of an i920, as I hear the xeons are supposed to be better for o/cing... but I haven't been able to find anywhere in the UK that stocks them, so it looks like I will just have to settle for another 920...

It would be really handy if I knew someone who lived close to me that was running an i7 system as well, so that I could test my components on their system, but I don't know of anyone so I just have to work with what I have got here...
