Hi Guys, I hate to say it again ! Asus has being having quality control problems for a long time ! Short of closing the problem factory, they changed the name and started production elswhere, hence ASRock !
Purely conjecture, but I wonder where all the counterfeit ASUS mainboards came/come from ??

This is fine if you can convince a third or fourth tier distributer to honour the warranty. Certainly the attitude in the UK seems to be "You bought it --- Tough !!" Trying to get faulty product replaced directly is met with "You have to go through your supplier !" Unfortunately there are very few manufacturers that will deal directly with the consumer ! Names that will spring to mind, like "Seagate and Western Digital or Belkin" No mainboard manufactures though !! Stateside it may be different. YMMV ;-( -- Best Regards: Derrick.
