Hello,

My HTPC
gigabyte h55m usb3
intel core i5 760
8gb ripjaw x DDR3
ATI HIS 5770
netgear 3100 wifi adaptor

is having alot of issues with booting and network adaptors. Initially the network adaptor would stop working and I would have to unplug and replug it for it to work. Then streaming became very slow from my synology DS213. Then I could not open windows explorer. I formatted the HDD in hope that it was a software issue however on installation I got a BSOD. I moved the RAM modules from 1,3 to 2,4 but the computer would no longer boot up. I installed one RAM module into slot 1 and the windows installation could continue. On boot it was very slow again and as soon as I installed the netgear driver the computer reset again. I now boot up and the computer no longer detects the netgear wifi dongle unless i remove it and plug it back in. The computer becomes VERY slow when opening windows explorer.

My thoughts are motherboard issues. Could it be the RAM? or still a software issue (although I ran it for over 7 months with no issues whatsoever previously)

Thanks in advance for any help
James

sound everything broken .. :S
try to remove all devices and leave only cpu and one dim memory for test, make sure it can boot up into bios. if not .. try to check another cpu or dimm one at a time till you can boot up motherboard in normal state.
if all things above done but problem still .. it could be motherboard.
if you can go on with your cpu and memories, than try to update your bios and make it optimized default with your following test.
