Well after all the reviews of the neo2, I was happy to finally get mine...
It worked great for about 3 weeks, then it started randomly rebooting on its own, untill it finally couldn't get thru the windows load. I tryed to reinstall windows, but I couldn't get thru the install. It sems the problem has something to do with the drive controllers. I was running sata raid 0. Often times when it was working it would hang during the disk detection at startup.
I thiink I was so happy to finally get this "WELL REVIEWED" motherboard that I overlooked the problems others were having. I returned my neo2 and am now going with an A8V. Though it may not be quite as fast as the neo2 in dx9 games which I mainly use it for, at least it will be stable. My only other nforce option, at this time, would have been a gigabyte, but seeing the stock heatsink doesn't even fit on the board properly, Asus it is.
My advice , stay away from the neo2, it performs great, but until MSI gets all the bugs worked out, its a waste of money.
