if its doing it with all gpu's then it could be a faulty pci switch,rma wont take long id do that and take it from there,if it still does it it can only be a bios issue or maybe psu incompatibility

psu is a pretty good one, the latest bios beta is f15 i think, i updated it to f8, from f5, f8 was the most uptodate bios that wasnt a beta at the time

other people seem to think its a voltage thing as the gpu can, apparently stress the cpu more then memtest would for example, its also been claimed its driver bassed, but i dont see how

I had a Raidmax RX700 and I replaced it with a Thermaltake TR600. When I was at BB I looked online at the specs of the psu I had just to compare and I did notice that the Raidmax has quad 12v rails with less amperage on each than the Thermaltake. My wierd theory is that perhaps these boards are much more sensitive to power and amperage and perhaps even though a psu may be a really good one, having not enough amperage on certain rails might make it unstable. Who knows, just a theory haha.

To throw a bone of wierdness, I let my buddy borrow my old psu for his am3+ build just to test it and hes been running it since I got my with 0 problems. So it seems my old psu is "working" but just not with my board. Kinda fishy if ya ask me.
