Not much info yet,

My vendor is still testing the pc. He is testing different RAM.

Just for some information on the WOW BSOD with 8800 series. I've been doing some research since the BSOD was really starting to piss me off. Anyways there is a known error that causes the BSOD with the newest version of WOW and the 8800 series graphics card. Blizzard has been able to recreate it in house and are trying to resolve the issue. Don't know when they will implement the fix. It seems that setting AA to 2xAA or off and AF to 2xAF or off seems to fix the problem for now until there is a real fix incorporated. Anyways thought you might want to know.

Here's a link to the Blizzard support forum where all this information came from.

I found that thread in the WoW forums as well, but I didn't read all of it yet.

It's not just WoW though, check out this thread at the nvidia forums:

I actually did get a BSOD in Windows itself, with no 3D application running.

I think I've only noticed the error in WOW becuase that's all I play most of the time. However based off of that thread you posted it seems that it's a driver issue and we have to hope nvidia fixes it quickly. I read somewhere that the vista versions of the driver wasn't causing this issue forgot where I read it and can't verify since I don't have vista.

UPdate!

Got my pc back from the vendor. He tested it with different ram.

SO i thought OK i will install my webcam software. 45 mins passed nothing installed, rebooted and tried again, same no files being copied to harddisc. Took the cdrom and installed it on my laptop in 4 mins.

Is this a motherboard issue and if so which motherboard do you recommend(maybe p965 chipset?)?

I just finished some troubleshooting with my system. Kept getting random lockups after I ran the Supreme Commander demo overnight. Turns out it was just my memory speed @1000MHz. Turned it down to 800MHz and everything runs fine again.

Not sure if its my board or my memory now, although my RAM is spec'd to run 1000MHz my board is known to have issues with RAM speeds and timings.

Sorry for the lack of an update.

My situation is not imprvong , vendor is trying a other motherboard to test. a foxconn ith the 965 chipset.

what vendor you take your pc to fix? they sound nice to pin point the cause, you didn't build this gaming pc yourself?
