Frustrated with GIGABYTE!

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.gigabyte (More info?)

I love Gigabyte but it was second time my GIGABYTE MOBO died this year both
about 4 months old.

I use GA-8I848E-L.

Last night my PC was awesome healthy and I start play HALF LIFE 2 into 10
mins my PC sudden died. Cause unknown ?

I think PSU failure, my PSU name OMNI 500W

I'm unsure about continue with GIGABYTE!

I have new brand in box GA-8I848P-G but I heard this is known faulty board
is that true ?

I always goes back to my wonderful AOpen AX6BC actually 6 years old still
great performance.

I'm very stressed with GIGABYTE MOBO!

It more likely that it was caused by your power supply not the
motherboard that got died -- it seem that power supply make the
motherboard goes blew up so best get new one and get Enermanx
Noisetaker or Thermaltake Purepower power supply which is the best one
- I used the Enermax Noisetaker 600w power supplyon my K8NXP-9 and it
worked great and much faster -- I dont see any problems with Gigabyte
as I used 5 different motherboard from Socket A -> 754 and now Im 939
-- all are great as it run greatall the years.
