**portabuddy** · 07-14-2008, 08:28 PM

we all have a idea of whats good/ newest and best. i currently have to epia sp13000 and its putting up a fight like no tomarow...

Basicly i need a new mobo... whats the best option. i need more power also. running two cams. gps and video at the same time... a miniatx is just fine. no bigger it needs to go inside the dash.,

2006 civic Si Goin' big, 10.2"lcd/300GB hdd/1Gb ram...

this is what i have thus far.

I had a M10k when I first started, that was $150 then.
Then got a Commell LV-670M, that was $200.
Now have a MSI Fuzzy GM1, that was $200.

Liked each of them. My M10k was just fine for what I needed then and slower than what you have, so I dont know what sort of power you need.

Perhaps ebay?

my number one problem is as you might know. compadability. once i start installing perpherals the system destabalized and crashed like crazy!... also from a dead start, HDD formatted and all, wondows bluescreens at setup. the video drivers also go wanky on me and i need to reset the bios

thought it was the HDD, so i bought a brand new baracuda 500... then the ram? swapped it with a 1gb from my media center. then i thought it was unstable power. so i ran it on a protected normal ATX power supply.

i tried several differant versions of windows just in case that was it?

the only thing i havnt changed was the motherboard.

Have you tested those components in a different motherboard? Put the RAM in a different mobo, run memtest.

Put the HD on a different computer, run a sector test.

That sort of thing. If the all work independantly, the only thing it could be is the mobo. The RAM doesnt talk to the HD. The RAM talks to the Mobo. The HD talks to the Mobo. If they dont play nicely, it is because the Mobo is playing telephone and somewhere along the line the message is being distorted. Since it is an integrated CPU/Mobo, both could be the problem, or either/or but again since itegrated, replace them both.

I could be completely wrong but that is how my convoluted mind works.
