anfjavid said:It cant be concluded that just if the O/s installs properly, the mobo isnt faulty. IMO majority of the mobo components start to work at their 100% potential only after the drivers are installed. For example if there is an onboard audio issue with the mobo, you may get a BSOD error or freezing only after installing the drivers or atleast windows... IMO most of the BSODs start to show up only after installing drivers or atleast windows (which may have inbuilt drivers)
Correct me if i am wrong..
Your are right mostly but the case here is that I was using this RIG till just the min before I installed the new card. So I dont think the mobo is fried. Also I inspected the mobo minutely and I dont see any blown caps or chokes. Either the HDD is gone or the PSU is screwed up. And my money is on the PSU.
