you have just discovered first hand why I ONLY sell
asus & gigabyte motherboards when my warranty applies
if a customer wants something else >>>>>> its his warranty ! .......... I continue to help them for free; but Dr. Quinn medicine man doesnt make housecalls for such systems
they bring the system to my shop and I help fix when time permits ........ the emergency status goes out the window
I sold two EVGA 680 motherboards that almost drove me insane !
