| 829117 | 2009-11-12 02:12:00 | Before I started my own business I worked for a short while in a Computer shop in WGTN- they tried Asrock boards - there was a 50% failure rate. When A new pc was built using asrock it was hold your breath when you fired it up the first time it either went Ok or was faulty. Going by the description given I'd say its a good chance the board is faulty since the monitor is OK. |

| 829118 | 2009-11-12 02:13:00 | When was this WT? I also had an ASRock board and while it didn't fail it was pretty useless for overclocking stuff. It looked more cheap and 'feels' cheaper too, I guess. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||

How long ago was that WT.....50% is extremely high!, capacitor failures?...ASRock are very popular in the US, they are very innovative... |

| 829120 | 2009-11-12 02:51:00 | Lets see - I started the business in Feb 2003, so it was late 2002. The boards being used were for the "value" PC's on board Graphics etc. When starting up if they failed it was instant, fans would start and that all, change the board only and away they went ( sometimes) If they went first time, they ran fine. They used them for about 4 months before changing to gigabyte Boards, the higher spec PC's usually had Soltek or Gigabyte Boards. |

| 829121 | 2009-11-12 03:00:00 | ASRock boards used to be terrible - our supplier indicated to us that many of them were Asus boards that failed quality checks but still "worked". However, the last couple of years they have picked up. While they're not great, I'd say they are a viable "low-end/budget" option to look at along with the likes of MSI if you just want something at a good price point and fairly basic. We initially had an upwards of 30% failure rate , but more recently (at a diff company now) we've been using them and it's more like 5% - still higher than the Asus and Gigabyte products we deal with, but nowhere near as terrible as it was. |
