I'm not going to argue with you, but I've never seen that in my ten years of IT experience, and I think it would be one of the last things I recommended to someone as a problem, instead of the first.
I am looking at the DFI Lanparty UT nF4 UD, on DFI-Street, it seems to be a stable board, lots of options, pretty close to what I was looking for, it's not SLI capable, but not sure how much I would be needing dual graphics cards. I was really set on Asus, but don't want to take anymore chances. Thanks for the help and support.
Do not go for a DFI if you are not sure what you are doing, they are designed for overclocking and if you do not know 100% what you are doing you could do damage.
hmmm... so what is a good board that is overclockable? not a run of mill dell or HP. I want something that is not junk, and that I can expand on later, that can run dual core, and run vista with no problems. I'm not new to computers, but I have not built one in 4 years, my overclocked AMD xp 1800+ has been doing fine for the last 4 years. I run an msi mobo on with that one and 0 problems.
ASUS are the best boards for your average joe overclocker, but if your afraid because of your setback then i suggest the Abit AN8 32X, quite similar to ASUS. As previously stated DFI is for someone who knows exactly what theyre doing, as too much can go wrong too quickly, but if your very tentative, and pussyfoot around the BIOS then you shouldnt have a problem
I have to agree on that. I'n 11 years of building and repairing pc's, I have seen this several times. I also had a problem where my pc was working fine, then windows crashed, so I restarted, and it hung. Did this a few times, then wouldn't post or anything, I tried everything, then I noticed my power supply fans wern't working properly. Put a new power supply in, been working perfectly fine ever since. It was 2 days ago.
