Asus F2A85-V Pro + AMD Richland A10-6800K. Bios level from factory. Loaded Win8 with current drivers. After a few days started getting various mini-dumps with variety of "causes" progressing to being totally unusable. Load Win7. Similar results. Flashed to lastest bios, reinstalled Win8. Similar results. Have another F2A85-V Pro with Trinity A10-5800K ("known good" box). Restored a Win7 backup from that machine to problem box. Severe errors within 1-2 days.

During this time I've swapped out hdd, memory, cables, p/s.

Borrowed a Trinity A8-5500, restored the backup from the "known good" box and ran the problem box for 3 days w/o problem. Reinstalled Win8 & it's running ok so far.

Now, how can I tell if I have a bad Richland APU or that the mb isn't working with Richland?
 
According to Asus, the A10-6800K APU should be compatible with the Asus F2A85-V Pro motherboard, provided BIOS is at revision 6002 or later.

BIOS was updated to, presumably, revision 6503, swapped out other components, and yet there were still problems running the system with A10-6800K. But system runs fine with A8-5500 installed instead of the A10-6800K.

This strongly suggests that the A10-6800K APU is faulty. Probably RMA time for this APU.
