Hi
5 days ago I bought new system hardware. An Athlon II x4 640 boxed, Asus M4A 785TD-V EVO motherboard, 2x2GB Corsair DDR3 RAM, a 430W be quiet ps, and a 500GB WD hard disk. I put it into my old ATX case, using the old IDE DVD drive and a 54mbit wireless PCI card.
I installed Windows 7 without problems, but soon after had random blue-screens (basically everytime different message) ranging from driver problems with some ati*.sys to rtl8185.sys to usbfilter.sys. at first i suspected some driver problem so i installed latest driver for video, motherboard, sound, and network. i also ran a memtest that didnt give any errors. i also ran prime95 which very quickly resulted in fatal errors "Rounding was 0.5, expected less than 0.4". next i suspected the WLAN card since it's along with the DVD drive the only component i kept from the old system. i removed it but still the same. prime95 detects errors and soon after the system crashes.
i tried booting into ubuntu from the install CD, but it doesnt even boot, so i'm very concerned. the system is new, so a hardware defect is so unlikely and yet i'm quite sure there is no software problem.
i did no overclocking (barely touched the BIOS). the temperatures seem to be ok (CPU under load at 50 and sys at 40).
Is there anything I forgot about? Any help appreciated. Should I return the CPU, or is it the mainboard? What's wrong
