The sound failed in my ASUS MotherBoard, so I replaced it with a 78LMT-USB3. I started getting crashes when running CPU-Z, Performance test 8.0, IBT. I then set fail-safe defaults in BIOS, did a clean install of W7x64 but still I had the problem. It actually got worse after I finished installing the last of the drivers. The only one that W7 didn't install was USB3 drivers. I installed the Gigabyte chipset drivers and the USB3 drivers and now it crashes most of the time after login but before making it to the desktop. I found someone with the exact same problem here
http://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/index.php?topic=10883.0 , but there was no resolution. I PMed him to see what he figured out)
I tried different memory, Power Supply and Video card, nothing worked. Then I put in my older P II 955 BE and it seems to be working. I ran Prime 95 for an hour or so and restarted a half dozen times. I can not get it to crash.
The FX-6100 worked fine in the ASUS motherboard, and I can put that motherboard back to test it again if needed, but if the CPU tests fine and the 78LMT-USB3 works fine with other CPUs, how do I know which one actually has the prob? I would guess the motherboard, it has F4 BIOS, and as I said all setting are "stock", fail-safe defaults.
