Thanks for all the feedback. I’m wondering if overheating might be an issue, after all, some of my images take hours to construct so the machine runs all day. The case is a semi-server tower so there is plenty of space inside but I will be adding some extra cooling now. Given the general opinion on Asus boards, I think this is the way I will go this time, and it wont be going anywhere near the vacuum cleaner!
Thanks again

Asus makes very nice boards!
How can you work a board to death?
The most usual board killers are heat and crappy energy . Sounds like you have a too hot of a case or a cheap power supply. Maybe you are plugging your vacuum cleaner to close to your machine? Don’t laugh, vacuum cleaners are bad news for computers.I blew three of them vacuuming my office!
I has a nice Belkin surge protector, should have been OK, too bad the F*****g electrician never connected the outlet’s ground to …the ground.

once again I have worked my motherboard to death. This afternoon the Gigabyte GA-7DXR living in my main imaging PC gave up. This the third Gigabyte board I have gone through, and it looks like the weekend will be dedicated to rebuilding instead of steak and beer.
Does anybody have any thoughts on AMD boards? I think its time to part company with Gigabyte, before me and my workload sink into the sands of time.
Thanks Group.
