I bought an AMD 64 3000+ and a gigabyte ga k8ns pro and I've run into two times where my computer works for about 100 hours and then just abruptly stops. I asked on this forum and people suggested that it might be the psu so I bought a really nice one by tgti and the same thing happened. Recently a friend of mine who has had the exact same setup as mine and had it running pretty religiously for the past 3 months had the same thing happen. At this point I'm pretty convinced that it is the motherboard since I've been changing out the processor too. I would love a motherboard that is really reliable and that I don't have these quality control issues with. Which ones would you recommend. I also would like to do raid so if it's better to get a pci raid card which one should I go with?
Thanks,
Stephen

Do you have a s754 or s939 chip? Was your board AGP or PCIE?

Why don't you just talk to gigabyte and have them replace it? If there was a problem with it, I'm sure they have fixed it, and they should be willing to replace it if it just died on you.

The issue is that new egg is more than happy to replace it but this has happend twice to me and once to my friend all in the same way. I bought all this stuff in early december and still haven't gotten to use my computer for over a week at a time. I'm just getting frustrated that i can't nail down for sure what is happening but the motherboard seems to be the most likely source. I mean i use good components, corsair ram, sea gate hard drives, nec burners, ati graphics card, tgti psu etc.

What about the DFI lanparty ut nf3 250gb? It seems like a really stable motherboard that I won't be running into problems like this.
Thanks for your help!
