HAHAHA, hey guys wanna hear something really funny!!! I put the E6300 in my old rig again about two days ago. So i got up this am to see if my Q6600 would go into my old rig( it should have just needed to update bios!) So went to turn it on this morn and guess what , it is in that damn reboot cycle, you know the one that resets your mobo after every three seconds or so!! I wouldnt of minded if i had actually flashed the bios or anything!! but i hadnt touched any setting the only thing i did the night before was d/l the bios to install!!. It justs reboots all the time, no post no nothing!! LOL could things get any worse!!
