My system crashes just by downloading a 1GB file via Chrome, windows media player and running excel 2007... The mobo shows the debug code 62. I've just noticed my gpu has been installed on the pcie x8 slot. Will it affect the system stability if I only use the x79 rampage IV Gene pcie x8 slot...

This is unrelated to the discussion, can someone recommend me a suitable AM3+ board? I might get an Piledriver FX.

anyone here buy processors in bulk? If yes, is it possible for me to join in?

:bounce: I am excited about Pile Driver but how long can AM3+ mobos last? If Pile Driver is the last generation, i will rather gamble and wait for Steam Roller-based APUs...

:pt1cable: what will be the price when fx 8350 or A10-5800k is released? FX 8150 was USD 245 when it was released, any estimate for amd's new cpu price?
