Just dropped off my motherboard at microdirect in manchester for RMA.
They did a test and it worked fine but they used a 8800 with nvidia drivers.
They have sent it to the suppliers for further test.
Gut feeling says its not it and its something else but i'm at a loss as to what it is.

Please post back when the board is returned as we would all be interested in the outcome.

You and me both  ;D but they said 6-8 weeks !
Gigabyte said 3-5 days for an RMA to them .. wish i'd sent it to gigabyte now lol

Hopefully it won't be quite that long and I think Gigabyte was being optomistic with their estimate as well.

22" but thats not the problem.
I found out the problem today !!!
It is the Motherboard !!!

I just installed a GA-MA770-UD3 that i'm going to use to upgrade my second PC and everything works fine !!
So now its down to whoever microdirect sent the motherboard of to to test so see if they are any good and find the problem with my other board.
So thats my problem gentlemen it IS the motherboard !.
