Hey all,
I got a new rig a couple of months back (check my system under name) and everything was going great up until a month ago, games started to crash and i would get the blue screen of death, computer would freeze when surfing or browsing files on pc and then it would not boot up:surrender: So i decided to send the mobo back and got a Gigabyte GA-EP43-DS3L as a replacement, at first i thought everything was back to normal, no more blue screens or freezes, then after a few days it happened again. I was told that Gigabyte boards have memory compatability issues with some major brands and Crucial was one of them. So i sent my second board back within a week and got a refund, so i thought i would try another board. This time i went for the MSI P7N SLI Platinum, third board in the space of two weeks, due to good reviews on many websites and on Tomshardware, the later i have found in the past to have trust worthy reviews. To my annoyance after the build the pc would not boot! i checked everything from the ram, brand new, cpu, only 3 months old and pins perfect, and graphics card, again only 3 months old, none of these components were to blame the mobo was faulty(after checking on the msi forum).
So after all that i thought i better ask for some advice before purchasing another board.
Mobo Requirements:
1. Supports 45nm Processors
2. Supports Crucial Memory PC2-8500
3. Has PCI Express
4. Reliable and Durable
5. Costs no more than £100
6. Does not need all the fancy features like 3 PCI Express slots, Fireware etc
Any suggestions would be much appreciated
i dont think i could handle
