hello my problem is i had a 1000w xion PSU that died on me so i went to get a new one but could not spend that much money so i got an antek 750w and now my system keeps freezing when i play a game (star trek online) my system is custom build here is a list of parts



asus striker 2 extreme mobo
4 gig Patriot Viper DDR3 1333
intel qx9650 with Ultra ChillTEC Thermal Electric CPU Cooler
antek 750w PSU
1.5tb sata hard drive (storage) + a 250gb IDE hard drive (operating system )
nvidia gtx 260 896MB
cooler master HAF 932 full tower case
windows 7 x64 ultimate


the strange thing is it never froze b4 with the 1000w PSU

p.s. no overclocking i cranked it down to well below the stock speeds @2.66ghz and the voltage is set to auto
any clue ? maybe when the 1000w PSU went you think it might have broke something?
 
I would say its more likely the graphics card. If its not that you just return it and get a motherboard its not that big of a deal if you get it from a good store.

Microcenter if you have one is awsome with returns

and for online Newegg will except returns with in 30days of purchase no matter what and if you call them they will pay for the return shipping and waive restocking fee I have done it so many times.
 

Did you read the thread he said he had that motherboard for over a year.
Also it seems the sata controller is dead he tried the video card and it works fine.
