Most Favorable Review

The Jury is still out--NOT any more!

MSI PRO H310M PRO-VDH PLUS LGA 1151 (300 Series) Intel H310 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: nice looking, has all the specs necessary for a decent gaming rig, decent price.

Cons: Thinking I have a faulty board. Since day 2 (delivery to customer) it takes over 5 minutes to POST, but once booted to Win10 Pro, everything is great--until restart, reboot, power off, etc. Updated BIOS, tried removing all attached peripherals. Nothing has worked yet. Need to make time to troubleshoot with tech support available.

Overall Review: I have been using the B365 chipped boards, this was a "need it now, only inventory is this" decision. Hope its a fluke board and we can fix the issue. MSI has been a great brand for me. EDIT: I finally got the time to troubleshoot, tried some steps before calling tech support. I ended up updating to the latest BIOS, pulling CMOS battery and going through settings again. It fixed it! I was getting mixed error messages from the LED stuff built in--it stated error, but worked fine, just delayed. I will update again if I have problems, but so far it looks as resolved. Updating my eggs rating.

Most Critical Review

Stuck in the Middle

ASRock B365M Pro4 LGA 1151 (300 Series) Intel B365 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: All the features of this board for a medium budget build are awesome.

Cons: I'm having problems with this board, but almost opposite as everyone else on here, I am getting random shut downs/reboots. RAM tests fine, running dual monitors on a i7-9700 Coffee Lake 8-Core 3.0 GHz that has built in graphics. I have tasked this PC trying to troubleshoot it, and it is a trooper, yet sometimes the monitor goes to standby (PC set to NOT sleep or power down HDD) and wiggle the mouse to wake the monitor and it reboots. Only thing running is Chrome with 3 or 4 tabs open.

Overall Review: I've tried emailing and calling tech support and have gotten nowhere in over a months time. I am posting here in hopes that they will see this and reach out? I have an unhappy customer, and need some help to get it fixed.
