I currently have an a7v with a SB Live Plat and a geforece 2 GTS, and i'm sick of the freaking conflicts i have been having the last month. What is the most stable motherboard to replace my current setup?

I've been reading how the Epox EP-8K7A+ is very stable. So I ordered one yesterday.

why not try reformatting and reinstalling the OS? or using a different OS?
ECS K7S5A is cheap, fast, and stable :)

well, i'm lazy. My computer was ultra stable until i started playing games again. When my PC was first built i used it mainly for surfing the web, but then i discovered Stronghold, RTCW, and Motor City Online, and the stability just sucks. I have to reboot once a day.

I have the latest VIA drivers, latest Nvidia, latest SB Live, latest critical updates. Motor City Online tech support said they believe it is a memory timing issue with VIA and my geforce

Well I have nothing against VIA but I just got a Iwill XP333 for the stability and OC potential weird to have those mentioned in the same sentence! Also no Nvidia conflicts just ATI :p and after reading the reviews it can keep up w/ the KT266A boards just fine for me. I'll let you know what I find out :eek: also you could scrap your soundcard as you could use the nice onboard sound that it has.
