    your system spec is good for gaming except your graphics card it can't handle games so i think you need to upgrade your graphics card to a better one to fix this problem

    At that price point I'd probably still recommend a Nvidia 460 GTX 1GB over that card. Better overall performance.

    Well let me start off i got a new graphics card (a HIS Radeon HD 6770 Graphics card 1gb) and well no crashes until just now i got the blue screen of death ( I have not gotten this in a while and thought that i fixed that problem). So it will be extremely helpful if anyone can help me with this problem.

    Same Issue

    I had the same issue with this board and 8Gb of Ram.
    I'm running a Radeon HD 6790 for my gfx card.

    I was dismayed when my new build was throwing the BSOD and generally crashing playing games such as Starcraft 2 / Battlefield 3.

    I have the lastest drivers for gfx card / fully updated Windows 7 Ultimate.

    The BSOD instantly showed me that it was a memory addressing problem, once I removed the second 4Gb Corsair 1333 stick of RAM I have not seen an issue since.

    I think this maybe a motherboard issue with accessing the two sticks of RAM during heavy use? Possibly Dual channel issue?

    I'm not an expert but pull out one of your RAM sticks and see if you still get issues. :p

    My solution is to buy a better motherboard!
