I think I've narrowed my problem down to the motherboard or CPU. I put the system together and right away had a problem trying to turn it on. I would hit the power switch and it would just flash, not turn on, this would happen for a few times. So I installed windows with no problem, I installed the video and sound card no problem, I installed BF2 no problem, Then I had problems installing BF2 SF. I checked the power supply, the 3 volt was fluctuating wildly and the 12volt line only put out 11.1 volts. So I replaced the PSU and now the comp turns on like it should. But now its unstable, When starting bf2 it would crash and give a horibly sound and the colors would be slightly off. I went ahead and removed sound card and activated onboard sound, no change, remove video card and replaced with another, no change, replaced memory, no change, ran diagnostics on hard drive, all ok. So what am I looking at? How do I tell if its a cpu problem or motherboard problem?

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Need more information concerning your system configuration. I.E. make and model of all your components.
