Intel DH61WW may Freeze within six month use

[jomeshkck]

I have three Intel DH61WW Motherboards with i3-2100. I faced freezing problem on all three mobos for last one year. And each mobos are replaced lots of times from Intel RMA(Digicare) and all mobos show same problem. I waste my lots of time for it.

The problem is it turn off within a half hour and not turn on quickly. This problem shows even it was working on CMOS setting menu by F2 key when it was connected only to the display, memory, keyboard & cpu with a well worked PSU.

Also, sometimes the DH61WW motherboard PCs turn off without a reason and it may working after a while.

All Voltages are perfectly shows even after freeze. And all motherboard components are working good. Also all temperature values below in 55°C.

In my experience the DH61WW may not ahead a period of six month, if use at least 8 hours per day. And the replaced DH61WW is stopped working with in few days.

I feel DH61WW/H61 chipset has a bug . So no one purchase a H61 chipset motherboards as blind. Coz Intel may continue this dirt chipset for there new 22nm Ivy Bridge processor.

Be sure and use the Intel Communities for this board..seems to not be a common issue but they do have some answers it seems:

Thanks for finding this for jomeshkck. I havent heard of this issue but reading the thread it seems that this is a direct answer to this problem.

I don't see any mention of BIOS revision but there could be some relevant fixes in the BIOS release notes.

You've posted this message in several threads today which really is not done here and a good way to get on the bad side of the wrong people. I suggest you'll find your problem is driver related just as Intel says in their community forums.

Hi mate,
Thank you for your fast reply.

Its never a driver related problem.

I already describe that the Intel DH61WW hang and stopped working even working on BIOS setup menu. No other devices(Hard Drive, DVD Drive, Mouse, PCI/PCI-E Devices, Graphics Card) not connected to mobo at this time.

Also this problem is not related to Voltage, Over heat, Power or voltage noise.

All MOSFETs, PWM Controller, MOS drivers, and filtering capacitors are working properly.

Hi tcsenter

BIOS Version 0044 - BEH6110H.86A.0044.2012.0531.1710

It is latest.

You should supply the entire setup information. Not just the board.

3 PCs used for medical transmission.
PCs config are,
DH61WW, i3-2100, 2x2GB DDR3-1333 A-Data, Seagate 500GB, cooler master extreme power series 500, MS k/b+mouse, LG DVD-RW.
DH61WW, i3-2100, 2x2GB DDR3-1333 Kingston, Seagate 500GB, Cooler Master extreme power series 500, MS k/b+mouse, LG DVD-RW.
DH61WW, i3-2100, 2x2GB DDR3-1333 zion, WD 500GB, XFX proseries 450W , Logitech MK200, LG DVD-RW.

DH61WW mobos are not working on a single PSU. I never thought the problem occurred by a worse PSU.

I faced this problem on nine DH61WW after a lots of times replacement from INTEL RMA.
