Hey,
Just under 2 years ago, I purchased an HP Elite e9180f which was apart of the long list of HP Elite desktops running the faulty revision of the Pegatron IPMTB-TK motherboard which faces lockups/BSODs on a daily basis.
At first the issue occurred once or twice within my first month and I didn't think anything of it. Throughout the months, I tried figuring out a fix and went through countless hours with HP support in trying to have this issue fixed/repaired/replaced. In the end, nothing worked and at one point I even had a service appointment set.
I found out that the issue was coming from the faulty motherboard, but still tried a number of fixes. After running the latest BIOS updates from time-to-time, I was able to actually solve the issue. I had no lockups or BSODs for the longest time, until of course they came back.
I have tried again applying the latest BIOS update, but there was no success and quite frankly, the lockups are pissing me off as I am now facing them multiple times in a day. I've decided that I will just pony up the cash and buy myself a new motherboard so here I am looking for a compatible and equivalent motherboard upgrade.
The motherboard specifications can be viewed at the HP website: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01901210&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=3983060&tmp_track_link=ot_search#N342.
My budget is no more than $200, and of course the less the better. I'm looking for one with some sort of integrated audio with an optical audio out.
If you guys can suggest a good motherboard to replace my defective model within that price range, I would really appreciate it. I just signed up with Comcast to bring my internet speed up to 50mbps down/10mbps up and these lockups are the only real things I need to iron out before having a complete computer setup.
Thanks in advance, all suggestions are highly appreciated!
