Wanted: S775 Motherboard

[Bloodnok]

I require a Motherboard that has socket 775, 4 DDR2 ram slots, 1x pci express x16 and 3 pci slots (case too small for bigger mobo).

The reason is that my parents pc is having issues with aol not working on vista (you heard) and crashes when I install XP from the disc (BSOD at the Windows is Starting screen before this one). The problem with aol can be solved with a vista compable router, sod that!

If no one has one, links to new ones will be most welcome.

Sorry yes, I was having a busy day

When I assembled Dyce's PC for him, it kept blue screening and hanging etc, it was down to ram timings

Random lockups and blue screens can often be tributed to ram problems, it's either that or power / mobo. Ram is often the easiest to test, well that and making sure that your ram timings are set correctly

 

[Bloodnok]

ok but I can do nothing about the timings of ram in the BIOS, only boot order and disable/enable onboard sound etc and its a MSI mobo that isn't on their site (some OEM crap)

Given up on it as a Dell Dimension 8400 I found in the tip does a fair better job (after modding the life out of it XD)
