I monitored CPU clock times and power supply voltages. All stayed consistent and in the normal ranges. SO that pretty much leaves the Mother Board. Anyone have an idea other than MoBo replacement? If it does have to go then I understand. It IS from 2001 and has performed yeoman service for close to a decade. And it is the only part left original aside from the case and power supply.

BOLTER,

You have a good point. While you are at this MoBo thing, look toward Storm of War and find one that will allow upgrades in components for years to come. The most important thing to remember is that the DirectX 11 cards are what will run Storm of War at the high graphics settings.

It looks to me as though you are one of the exceptions and should build toward ATI cards. I suggest getting a MoBo that has the size to handle high performance ATI cards and compatible with the current DirectX 11 graphics cards.
