While they've had certain series of boards (their budget range mostly) that were a bit dodgy, the bulk of their products have been and are outstanding. But, they can be preettty picky about any small faults in other components. |

Has been the problem with two of my PCs. Seems those who sell motherboards don't read the specs and will sell any sort of crappy memory. Both problems have acted like the fault here. I've shuffled a few power supplies and other parts before I figured the first one out. Second one was way easier. |

| 770232 | 2009-05-05 22:38:00 | Oh ok then. I have an ASUS m3a32 MVP Deluxe Wi-Fi, and 2GB of 1066 Crucial Ballistix Tracer. Do you know if this is compatible? | sammo450 (13626) | ||
