Hello,
I've had this mobo for a couple years (with Intel Q6600 chip), and I get sporadic crashes that drive me nuts.
I encounter them the most when browsing the web (maybe once a week), like say checking email. When playing games it's actually rare for the system to crash. It sometimes gives a BSOD, sometimes just hangs, then shuts down. When it shuts down, it continually tries to reboot, but fails. There's a very distinct sound too. When rebooting I hear the fan going on very strong, then shutting down after about a second. It continues this until I have to pull the power plug from the PC (reset button, off button etc don't do anything).
I've tried updating bios, drivers, etc etc. It's not a temperature issue either. Anybody have any idea? I looked at the event viewer, and it's a different file that causes the crash each time, leading me to believe there's some hardware issue.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
