ASUS = Horrible QC
05/10/2011
This review is from: ASUS M4A88T-V EVO/USB3 AM3 AMD 880G USB 3.0 HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
Pros:
On paper, this board had everything I needed and then some. Too bad the quality control department at ASUS is asleep at the wheel.
Cons:
Got the board, installed XP, installed SP3, installed board drivers, and the on-board ethernet wouldn't connect. I had a few problems when installing the drivers, so I thought I maybe had a messy driver install. Reformatted the HDD, reinstalled windows, reinstalled drivers, and still no ethernet. It just keeps showing "Limited or no connectivity". I dug out an old 10/100 PCI ethernet card, installed it, installed the drivers, and it won't even recognize the card. PCI slots dead, maybe? As I'm trouble-shooting the ethernet problem, the on-board sound dies. So now I have a brand new ASUS motherboard with no ethernet, no PCI, and no audio.
Overall Review:
I've heard good things about ASUS and this was my first ASUS board, but after wasting 12 hours, I think this will also be my last ASUS product.
