well just to update the thread,

the FX8150, was a faulty processor, I return it and get a FX-8320 as replacement, I was so happy with it, until I try to play Battlefield 3, and the app crash everytime.

I stress test it, at stock speeds (3.5Ghz, fsb:200Mhz) with prime95, OCCT, Overdrive, aida64, all tests fail bigtime (hardware errors).

I'm going to return it again today to the reseller so they can test it,

I can't blame the motherboard or the ram since both works great with the PhenomII x4 945.

it's the first time amd is such a pain in the... at least for me
