I have been living with a motherboard from gigabyte that I ordered from Cyberpower PC after seeing the recommendations for easy overclocking on tom's hardware.

It has been unstable from day one. At the same time I purchased a cheap motherboard for my dad. I have had nothing but trouble, while my Dad's mother board has been rock solid with no issues.

It has been over 5 years, and I need a new motherboard. Can anyone recommend a motherboard that is always stable, has fast boot times -- with absolutely no overclocking features. I never want to overclock anything ever again, I just want the computer to run. I can not find any reviews on site that compare motherboard stability.

I know it is the motherboard because, I have replaced the power supply, the video card, the hard drives etc. Now I want o get a motherboard processor and memory combo that is not very fast, that just runs. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
 


Hi. What processor are you running. You said you never want to Overclock again, have you OC'd the processor. Usually instability is Processor related and sometimes memory.

It is Intel Core 2 quad Q6600 processor. It has always been unstable, so I have never overclocked anything. In fact I disabled as many things as possible on the motherboard to try to limit the functionality.

Correction. I have ASUS STRIKER EXTR SLI QUAD 680I motherboard -- not Gigabyte. Sorry, I was thinking about ordering a Gigabyte so wrote the wrong thing.

I just want a really stable system. Able to meet Chromecast requirements so it is equivalent of an i5 processor.

Any advice on a motherboard, processor and memory combo that is known to be stable would be great.
