    every time i try to open a web browser or just any application in general, it tells me this .dll has been moved, or deleted. or this application can no longer be accesed.. just bull. This is what it was doing before i got the P79 board.. So yeah... Im hoping the new board works, if not .. Asus here I come.. lol

    Well yeah.. thats reason I justified buying the p79 board. I got two bsod's witht he p78 board int he past 2 days, both while playing my game.. the p78 board plays the game, its just eventually the memory fks over.. I know on that board the memory slot(s) are bad. I got new memory for the P79 board, so i just have to wait until i get a new one back.

    congrats on the new machine. I am kind of woried about the upgrade as you have issues already that seem to parallel the issues you have now with the P78 board. my suggestion would be to try the video drivers that arre stable for you with the P78 on the P79. To tell you the trueth I am not sure why you have these issues but it look like an IRQ conflict. Why you are having it I have no idea.

    Having the machine in hand would help but it may be some other issue. as an example if the DVD were hanging, as in intermitently defective, it could freeze the pci-e bus from the sata conroller. Same isses with the power board with the two USB ports. Every pci/pcie device has a priority/latency. The drivers may somehow be altering this allowing the video to ignore whatever is attempting to freeze the computer.

    A suggestion, free to try, pull the DVD out and see if the system stops locking up...............

    did you let them know you do not have any other P79 boards that you could have sent to them?

    It would be another thing if you had a P79 and could have mistakenly sent them your old board, or multiple computers etc.............

    they just said I got the board mixed up with my old board.. since i ordered that, i guess they thought it was to replace a defect p79 board... so i took pictures of my p78 board and sent them the links to it.. and hopefully receive a answer today..
