I'm about to rig up the heatgun and go out there to pull off the plastic-chrome covers on the side mirrors and door handles. There was also plastic chrome on the little hex-mesh grilles but I took those off a few days ago.
 
Azz, I just got that same board and a 4770, loving the board so far, BUT i do intend to to a custom loop, so the water cooling will be used. If you do decide to get a new board,and are looking for the red/black theme, stay away from the EVGA z87 ftw, I tried one and had a ton of problems with it. 2 ram slots were dead, had a few items that the drivers never would install for, and only one onboard usb 2.0 header changed my mind quickly, luckily I was able to return it for a full refund.
 
How much was it?
Personal choice, I'd rather have a f-150. My dad had a maroon-purplish one, and I loved it. Whenever I see one of the same year (2003 i think) It brings back memories...
What are you gonna replace the chrome with??
 
The truck cost me $23K all said and done. It's a 2013 with 11k miles. The chrome accents I removed aren't really chrome. They are a piece of plastic put over the original black with double sided tape, lol. So I just heat it up, peel it off, clean up the goo! I'll take pics later.

MDBA, make sure you didn't accidentally adjust a setting that is causing this. What were the codes on these recent BSOD's?

I'd probably just return to defaults and start again.
 
StickG1 - Good deal! If you liked small cars, you could have gotten a mustang GT with that 😛 Or a big car as in a Jeep but that car is great!

Lutfij - Im sure its not an app. WhoCrashed told me 0x3b or something like that and that OCclockers said that means u have to raise ur Vcore...Ill drop mine to 1.18 cause that seemed stable. And when you were talking about Going off topic, Was that to me? Because I thought anything related to computers was OK to talk about :/
 
Ok very possibly since its a early bday present I might be upgrading mobo and cpu today...its that or a new gun.....if I buy a new mobo and processor if you guys had a budget up 200 for a mobo what would you get? Need quick answers cause we are gonna be stopping by my local frys electronics in a bit. So what would it be and why? Probably gonna be for a 4770k.
 


water or air?
I love the hydro series from corsair or the Krakens from I think it was NZXT or CoolerMaster.
I would recommend the 212 evo but I get slammed because it is a budget cooler.
 
Azz - I have the H100i. Its great. Very quite and cools AMAZINGLY AMAZING. You cant even hear it. When you turn the PC on and Off, you hear the pump turn on for 1 second, then done. The only thing you hear from it is the fans and I have the SP120 High performance ones. Want Performance or low sound? Get the quite editions if you care about silence more. Now My CPU is at 4ghz and 1-2c difference from 3.4ghz. 29-33c average.

Good choice on the hero board, Glad I could help :) I wonder what Tiny is gonna think as he said you shouldnt get a new board and CPU but Im sure its gonna be all good
