    EPoX "EP-9NPA+Ultra" NVIDIA nForce4 ULTRA Chipset Motherboard

    Thanks for the suggestion but after my first DOA and the problems with my second board I decided that I won't even install it in my case anymore lol. I have had all the parts sitting on my Centurion cases cardboard box lol. I did change out to one module. One of the two is certainly bad. I...
