In the process of building my 2nd computer.This one I dont want to screw up. But is there a way to tell or make sure everything is setup perfect example switches, configurations & etc????

Friend did his but it ran okay sometimes glitchy sometimes it would continue to reboot over and over then work fine. This is why I asked if there is away to make sure everything is properly setup then ofcourse let the Overclocking begin********

well I don't know about everything but I would certainly check your irq assignments and make sure that no more than 2 devices are installed on each irq address (and out of the 2 devices only 1 should be a major device like video, sound, or network card). If you have too many devices on an irq your computer will be crash prone These new pc's with all these new devices have a bad habit of stacking stuf onto the same irq. Mine installed 5 devices on the same irq (2 motherboard devices, vid card, sound card, and network card!). With this config. I would be lucky if the computer would run more that 20 minutes or so under load before it would crash. Now I can run it for days without a crash
