Motherboard Suggestions.

[Shodan]

Hi,

I currently have a Z77-D3H, but have had some issues with it. I'm looking to get a new board, and would like some recommendations.

I'd like it to be crossfire and sli friendly, and most importantly, be as free from known faults as possible. I would also like it to be good for overclocking.

In terms of budget, I don't wish to spend an exorbitant amount of money, but I don't want anything cheap and nasty either.

Thanks.

And there was me thinking that we weren't the only consciousness within the universe.

What problems are you experiencing with your current board?

Should try updating the bios version first.

Also please post hardware specs. May help us find a problem.

Two different ssd's got wiped, and at first my new graphics card wasn't able to give an image (an update to the bios sorted that out).

I've tried all available bios updates, F21, 22 and 23b.

My spec is as follows :

3570k, 8gb ddr3 1600mhz, 7970 matrix, 250gb 840 evo & a BeQuiet! 650w.

Are you using the cables that came with your BeQuiet powersupply? Using different cables from a different powersupply will actually prevent the system from booting up or if it does boot up, BSOD.

Yes, I am using the cables that came with my new psu.

Is the ram the problem?

Try running memtest or just do a simple swap out of ram and test each stick by itself.

I'll try running MemTest overnight. Atm, I'm trying out a different graphics driver.

In the meantime, could somebody please suggest a motherboard?
