I' am in Australia Idiot.



I can well Assure you after we put a new motherboard in, it was good as gold, with the same components as well.

So, the CPU was fine then?

I'm also interested to know how you put a new motherboard in (for a few reasons).

Dell's motherboards are specifically designed for the enclosures (ie. I/O panel on the back is not completely standard, the formfactor in many cases isn't as well.

Did it fit into the Dell PC ?

It's not a fight. We're just setting the record straight.

I also recommend the Dell. I don't think I mentioned that anywhere in my posts though.

You are 100% correct. A BSOD is only going to "come up" (i.e. be displayed on the screen!) because of the graphics card!

After all, what else can display it?

Taking it out and Testing it on the onboard Graphics will determine if the BSOD is caused by the Graphics Card.

i think that we should just turn this into a poll.
list 3 - 4 different manufacturers.
The one with the most votes is the one you should get, lol.
My votes going for the Dell.

Agreed!

I think you missed my point. The point was that the only thing that can display the BSOD is the graphics card. The BSOD message is a screen arrangement generated by the graphics card. Even if it didn't cause it!

Yes i know that and i didn't miss your point. What I'm saying is IF the Graphics Card is the cause then you take it out, swap it to your onboard graphics and see if you get the BSOD again. If you Don't well then you know its your Graphics card.
