Greetings,
It's a long story, but I'll try to keep it short.
Bought computer build kit, worked fine for 8 months then out of nowhere, black screen, it would boot up to "starting windows" screen, and freeze there.
Replaced MB, same problem, tried booting from windows 7 disk, tried all combos of memory, (tested memory, it tested OK,) tried to boot from UBUNTU disk, got nowhere. I can get into BIOS.
MB people tell me it must be CPU.
It's been several months now,...getting desperate, need home computer to make a living with.
here are specs,
Intel i7-920
MB XFX MD-X58i CH09
Graphic card ECS GTX 275
Corsair TR3X6G1333C9 G 12 gigs
Can anyone help, my next thought is to purchse another MB, but I'll be waisting $$$ if its the CPU.

Since you replaced the motherboard, it seems to be the processor.
I would suggest contacting our local customer server center so they can assist you.
http://www.intel.com/support/9089.htm http://www.intel.com/support/9089.htm
when you call them, please have the processor handy since they will ask you for the processor specs as showing here:

Also have the motherboards model number where the processor was tested.

I want to do one more test tonight if I can, trying to start it outside the case, on a piece of cardboard or something, just to check if there is a short somewhere inside.
If it does not work, I will make the call to Intel support.
Thank you
