Hi All,
I've just lost my 3rd desktop in 3 years to a suspected faulty mobo or PS, but it's hard to be sure. The usual basic tests (disk, memory, graphics) all pass. But it crashes (BSOD) with random errors every few days.
What I would like to do is build a solid and reliable machine, and am interested in suggestions. My thinking so far is:
- intel (server) mobo
- ECC memory
- cooler master full tower
- good graphics card
- name-brand ECC memory
What I want from this system is:
- reliability
- ease of access
- reasonable games performance (at least at 1280x1024)
Am I asking too much?
Any suggestions?
