I bought this motherboard with the KAveri apu and 2x4gb of 2133 and well it either had a part defective or something with the combination went wrong. I'm asking this because i'm about to return everything and i don't know if when i get them replaced they will give me the same problem because maybe it wasnt a defective part but just (as i said) Bad combination. The problem i was having is bluescreens while installing everything. If anyone can help me ill be thankfull.

Yes that motherboard and CPU combination is fine assuming your have bios version 1002 or later. If you could explain your issue in detail perhaps we could help you resolve it without needing to send back anything.

Well, I started off by ofcourse installing windows 7 64 bit, it was running fine. Then i started installing the motherboard drivers and i believe thats when i started getting bluescreens. After the first one, it starded happening a lot. I tried installing windows 8.1 enterprise but this time it wouldn't even let me finish the installation of it. I tried changing the ram to see if that was the problem, and nope. I changed the powersupple and nope. So i had no other choice to unmount everything and call it defective. Also you mentioned Bios version 1002, How do i know what version i had, Since i didn't update that.
 


I think you just saved me from being ignorant, and clueless. I checked on my motherboard where it says REV. meaning Revision which is the version and it says 1.00 and i need 1.02 which is 1002 as you said. This Wednesday i'm putting it back together and updating it to see if the blue screens leave, if that doesn't work then i believe i tried everyday possible, unless the hardrive is defective as well.

I'll let you know.
