Thanks thanks... I hope can settle shift to AMD by end of this week...

But no x6 or x8 for me yet...ONLY USE 955BE...

Ahh yess...Sabertooth 990 right...

not many giga n msi fans nowadays yaa...

Yup, sabertooth 990

Not to say not many giga & msi fans, its just that to me:
1. Giga has limitation on that they are still using old hybrid UEFI.. their oc'ing clock nowadays also not as good the old days..
2. MSI u will get good support and most of their mobo especially the 990FX-GD80 mobo has a good ram tweaking milage but its cpu oc'ing milage when using the newer FX cpu's is the sad part.. Knew a guy who blew his GD80 while ocing his FX8120

Lol... true that bro. While uefi is not that important, it's d ram mileage part prevent me goin for giga, despite d sexay look of their matte black pcb. Apart from that, they still continue w d rev thing which make early adopters d white mices. Not to mention d huge vdrop issue on certain models thou they mite get it fixed by now. Other than weaker coolin @ pwm n d drmos which not really favored by many, i'd say msi have had significant improvement. Thou i whine alot but msi always held a special place in my heart. Asus have their own fair share of issues, but hw n sw tools wise they impressed me d most, hence i recommended it to my neighbor.

erkk...Bulldozer ain't looking fine yet these days...

any news of B2 coming out soon? or just wait for the next after Bulldozer?

piledriver for u sir... u can grab a cheap fx4 to warm up 1st ma...

I had some of AMD Phenom 2 store somewhere in my CPU collection box...time to dig out...

FX-4 looks nice but I think I'll probably fire up using PHII instead...X4 955 to be exact....

performance wise deneb is better but d fun fx4 can offer (cpu & ram oc) is irresistible sir.

PII x3 720BE

all at stock.. bios flashed to 1102.. when i boot using xp disk, show error 007B. when i use win7 disc, finished install already but cant boot into windows.. black screen wit a dash flashing ony

try toggle around SATA setting between IDE & ACHI. iirc some sata hdd have problem with ACHI mode.

no luck bro.. it still stuck at the windows logo when start windows..

Is d os installed on diff mobo b4? Try memtesting d ram. Also, try goin into safe mode to check whether its is hw or os issue. If u have problem goin into safe mode there are chances that somethg is wrong with ya hw or bios setting.

running memtest now.. d os i hav installed on diff mobo b4, no error.. tried safe mode.. can enter.. i guess probably hw issue.. still waiting the test

If can enter safe mode definitely no hw issue ledi. Reformat d windows will do, or uninstall hw driver on previous mobo includin gpu driver.

not hw issue? i ony changed the mobo to CHV.. has been reformatting my hdd for a day.. still like tat.. very frustrated o

try to stay in safe mode for longer time like 20 mins, if possible, try to run prime95 in safe mode too. if everything goes fine i suspect it's driver issue.

cant enter safe mode since windows installation havnt complete

how was d memtest result? u have another hdd to os installation test?

wait a minute, is there any chance that u enable core unlocking feature in BIOS?
