CPU/Mobo Suggestios for a 939 Mobo

[unlucky_devil]

Hi all,

I would need suggestions for a 939 mobo cause lately I have been experiencing some problems with my system.

CPU: Opteron 165
RAM: Gskill HZ PC4000
Mobo: BioStar 6100-M9

I had a big fiasco with my mobo earlier with the graphics and had it RMA'ed (8 - 12 months back) . So running now with a 6200 Geforce.

Now I seem to have some weird problems
1) PC doesn't start immediatly as soon as my UPS comes online... doesnt start when i press the button - it does after like 10 mins
2) There is a whining sound (high frequency sound dying out..) from my comp - think its from PSU when I disconnect the comp from power supply (after shutdown and before turning off the UPS) - never had this before
3) Pc speaker beeps when I press a key sometimes and nothing happens or the case changes...suddenly all becomes upper case - without CAPS LOCK ON
4) Mouse pointer "sprints" around the screen and highlighting happens randomly... and all those screw up behaviour and finally freezes (RIP)

When i plugged in my PSU to a P4/ECS combination - 1) and 2) did not happen...
and my keyboard and mouse is not so old either (6 months old)

Planning to change my mobo

any suggestions for a solid stable one.. ? I am fed up of all OC'ing dreams - need a stable one.

Need valuable suggestions on UCCC compatible stable mobo, please.

you can get lan party DFL from crazy eddy or bikey

 

[unlucky_devil]

I would really love that

 

[unlucky_devil]

come on guys - i would want some suggestions...

do you think flashing the bios to a Tforce would solve it ?

Any better ideas other than getting a new mobo - cos there arent any (almost) out there!

 

[memnom]

Exactly what Arun said, go for the DFI and u'll be happy.

DFI Lanpart rocks. If u dnt get that MSI boards are the next best thing.

 

[unlucky_devil]

well thats cool. But DFI boards are either extinct or not for sale...

The only board that i could get here was a Jetway!

Try Foxconn ...in the Rs.750/- to Rs.1000/- range.

 

[unlucky_devil]

cool - i'll try that - all these issues i am getting is it really becasue of the mobo? has someone faced all this BS before ?

First things first... try a different PSU... I think that is what is causing you problems...

Well.. He tried the PSU on his cousin's Intel rig and it just worked fine. The board's been a disaster ever since he bought it. Unlucky Devil he is hyeah:

 

[thixkull]

where do we source the foxconn boards from??

i`ve never seen any such boards in the market.

can someone give the details on that...

best thing to do is sell your opty and ram and buy an intel system
there are enough WTB threads for 939 dual core proccy's and DDR1

Which psu do you have? :huh:

Let's leave the mobo purchase for later till you have made sure what is wrong- might not be the mobo after all.

Why don't you try out someone's better psu on your rig and then see if the problems still persist after some hardcore crunching or gaming.
That's a better way of ruling the psu out of the equation than getting ur psu to work in some other rig.

Alternatively you may buy a new rig after selling the old stuff- you may sell the Opty 165 to kkndka as he is ready to pay a handsome price for a socket 939 DC, and Freaky might be interested in buying the lovely UCCC you have. :rofl:
