I would put money on it being the mobo,, they seem to either run for ever or just about till the guarantee runs out! I'm in the same boat at the mo with corrupt graphics, i have swapped the video card so know its not the card and the board (gigabyte) is 14 months old. Have ordered a new board and processor (phenom 2 x2 550 black edition).Julianif anyone can enlighten me on this i would be grateful. alex the noob
It sounds from doing a Google search that Gigabyte have a 3 year warranty with a returns centre in Milton Keynes - http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17969701
So even if it does mean you have to send the board back to them (which would be what, a fiver or so?) then it's not a major issue if it saves you a few quid (or means you can sell the board on eBay at a later date to make some money back on it).
