Pros: Great board, smooth, fast, and while it does take a moment to show something on screen during boot, once it's going, it does very well. Love the 780g chipset. More than enough to run HD video which was the whole reason for this rig

Cons: The ground pads around the screws are small dots instead of a solid circle. This necessitates that you use the hex head phillips bolts that cases have come with for years to mount the motherboard. I tried smaller better looking hardware, but I had all sorts of trouble. Wouldn't restart, endless loops powering on the dvd rom, I thought it was the memory, like others had said. I replaced the bolts with the old school ones, and blammo. Perfection. No issues whatsoever with the board.

Overall Review: Make sure your mounting is covering all the pads surrounding the mount hole, and make it tight. I never thought a bad ground could cause all I was seeing, but I was taught otherwise.
