Greetings all...
My name is Mike. I've had an AMD setup since 2008 which has used DDR21066, Phenom X4 9950BE, and Asus M3N-HT Deluxe. I've been upgrading my video cards as time has allowed, going from a pair of N 9800GT's to a solo GTX 570SC to a pair of GTX 570SC's. Recently, I've had some hardware failure, I'm not sure what is to blame... could be PSU, could be MOBO, but definitely not the hard drives. In a matter of a week I had gone from having 3 TB hard drives to 0... i'm pretty pissed off about the 3 hard drive failures all of a sudden.. I wasn't running RAID or anything, I just tried to boot up my comp one day and System restore kept coming up. Now mind you, I had tons of blue screens with this set up so I know that the mobo had it's issues, and I'm not sure exactly what the problem is... However, I'm going to move on and try to get a new AM2+ motherboard for the 9950 and 4x 2GB PC8500 sticks I have and eventually get a new workstation up and running with an AM3+ setup.
I've been looking around online for a cheap replacement for my M3N-HT and I can't seem to find a decent mobo to replace, since my requirements are the AM2+ socket and the ram that comes with it, and Nvidia SLI tech.
I thought about the M2N-SLI however, I just can't seem to figure out what would be the best buy, and, whatever is actually still available on the market. It seems that AM2+ has been phased out, with good reason... but I am still in the market for one. Help me out people =) I'll keep checking back for some recommendations.
PS; don't ask me what's up with the hard drives, i'm still a bit pissed off about all the data I lost... I had 2 drives in it when it failed, I tried taking one out and reinstalling the OS on the 2nd, and it failed once I had windows installed. THen I had an external which I ripped out of the enclosure and thought I had the issue resolved but then as soon as I had windows installed.. again the drive fails. I'll be ordering a PSU tester to see if the issue is the PSU but it's a Corsair TX750 with a 10 year warranty so I think its safe to say it isn't the issue. Still, ordering a PSU tester for troubleshooting in the future =).
