I've been using this motherboard for almost 6 months now with my old Phenom II X6, had no problems at all. Recently I decided to upgrade to the FX-8350. Today I obtained the processor, installed it and when I turn the system on I notice it's not posting so I check the motherboard to see the qcode "10". Did some research on this and found some cases that looked like mine, almost all of them ended in RMA and the ones which didn't were no use to me at all. Right now I'm writing from the same system with my old Phenom reinstalled, working perfectly as before, so there was definitely something wrong with the 8350.
The question is: Should I send it right away to RMA or is there an explanation to why this processor didn't work?
I'll be glad to share more details if needed
Thanks
