I honestly suspect an extremely unlikely series of unfortunate motherboards because the same CPU fully functioned well in another system for an entire day, and also worked well prior to attempting to upgrade this current system. I'll request a replacement for the mobo and try one more time...

Update: I have tested many many things and still have not found an answer. Disconnecting front-panel -- also a failure Tested a 2nd CPU - still a failure Tested 3rd MOBO - extra failure Tested a 3rd PSU -- omega failure New cooler -- omegalul failure Disconnecting all drives -- my life story...

In a twist of events, the CPU works just fine on the other system. The only things left to test is the cooler and drives... Which I least expected. Unless there are other steps that I have missed? Any thoughts?

So I just got my computer yesterday (Acer Predator) and I was excited. Started to download some stuff that shouldnt affect the problem that I have right now. Then, this morning, I got a notification to do this intel rapid storage technology thing. I accepted and it finished when I came back...
