Poorly PC [solved -- unreliable motherboard]

<< < (5/5)

UPDATE:
Things got worse.
Just as I was beginning to relax, believing my system was back to stability and reliability, it starts losing drives again.
Errors galore, can't flush system data, delayed write failures, drives not responding, paths not found....

I ran the P33 BIOS update as provided by eVga, and if anything, that only served to make matters worse.

There's nothing worse than a system you have no confidence in (well, there probably is, but you know what I mean) so, a new motherboard was the order of the day. With help from glynor (thank you) I have replaced the motherboard with a Gigabyte Intel P45 model.


System rebuilt, windows installed from scratch, so far so good...

glynor:
So often... Intel chipsets might not be the fastest, and they might not have the newest and fanciest features, but darn it if they don't "Just Work" and keep on "Just Working".

Glad you got her going again.  Random drive problems are terrible to try to diagnose.

glynor:
I'm also partial to Gigabyte boards.  The blue color is soothing, I think.  ;)

(Certainly much better than the DFI horrorshow.)

hit_ny:
Not ASUS  ?

Marko, other than being stable, how does the new board 'feel', compared with the previous one ?
