Last summer I purchased a used Gigabyte K8NS Ultra 939. I just recently got
it up and running. It was a little tempermental to get working but I have
had this issue before with NForce based mobos so I didn't think much of it.
the last couple of days the performance has been steadily worsening. with
increasingly ominous BSOD's justcoming from nowhere. Today, it finally just
gave up. I replaced every piece of connected gear, cable, PSU to no avail.
Well, I had been so impressed with this one originally that I bought two
more on EBay a couple weeks ago. It's a good thing. I just popped the fan
off the CPU of the dead board, pulled the processor and RAM, put them in the
new board, installed the fan and hooked everything up and the new one works
and appears much more stable than the previous one. I guess it was on it's
last legs.
This will be my last AGP based DAW, but this sure is a nice, fast mobo. By
far the best I've ever used in a native DAW. Now I need to test my remaining
backup to make sure it works.
(sigh.......it's always somethin')
