Hello. I have this motherboard about 2 years ago and from the beginning the f-audio panel not working. Last year the usb not work on windows and after restart she just got freeze on initial black screen. I try to clear the bios and after that work again but after some hour she have same problem. I deliver to warranty service and they try different version of bios (f5, f6a) and they say is ok, i get it back and have same problem of freezing, i send it again to warranty and they change usb block with network adapter, it work aprox. 6 months and then i got only freeze error on black screen. On first time error i used windows xp 32 bits, video onboard, proc amd athlon 64, 2x1gb kit 800 mhz corsair ddr2, a 450w source, 1 s-ata hdd and no optical drive. Now after the last error i change all the component, i use windows 7 64 bits, proc amd phenom x4 9650, 2x2gb kit 1066 mhz kingston hyper x, a 500 w raidmax source, 1 s-ata hdd and 1 s-ata optical drive, video gigabyte gt220 1gb ddr3 and another video gt630 2gb ddr3. All the component are working fine becouse i have another pc with a m720-us3 gigabyte motherboard and i use it with no problem. Now i try to disable audio onboard, i try different version of bios still i get this freezing error, i clear c-mos and everything is ok working about 4-5 hours untill got error again. Please advice becouse i don't want to send it again to service and wait for nothing got well

I don t want to sound harsh ,but i think it s time to upgrade.
Keep in mind the boards are entry level.
FM 2 platform could be a good path to take.
Incompatibilities ,the Nvidia chipsets (and driver) problems and the DDR 2 RAM may be playing tricks on you
The power supply must not be a cracker also.
My advice for you is to upgrade if RMA has ended.Sell the CPU ,the ram and the video card and get an APU instead.

thank you for your advice but i need a single core proc becouse of a old soft that i use on my bussines and i can change that soft... after i put the amd phenom quad core, i have 4 days without error. Only error i get is that i have to uninstall and refresh on device manager when i plug in an usb device, to see it but i guess i mess up something wrong in bios. anyway i found a second-hand motherboard with am2 socket and that it

With Nvidia based chipsets freezing happens even if the video card itself has Nvidia chips as well.
Get a AM2 board that features AMD chipset ,except the ones that feature SB 600 as southbridge.
Something like Gigabyte MA770-UD3 revision 2.0 would be excellent.
