Ok, so the GFX was factory overclocked then?

I will consider that as an option.



Its proberbly at this point (as the crictical error is kernal power) I should mention the power button on my case wont connect to the MoBo, Im waiting to get my hands on three pairs instead of this backward internal USB plug. I am staring it with a screw driver - shorting the pins...

Also this MoBo has an onboard gfx chipset. The drivers are not installed and its using the gfx card in device manager.
