Ironically, one of my Asus motherboards died just a few minutes ago. I'll see if it can be repaired tomorrow.
Sorry if I killed your motherboard by bragging about it. In general, there are half a dozen brands that try to maintain an image for quality.
I’m not into bleeding edge speed, so I have tended to go for boards that support ECC memory. It’s slower, but I had a bad experience with CAD file corruption some years back. File corruption can happen without programs knowing about it or crashing.
