Hi everyone. I have included my build below. My motherboard keeps failing, and I’m tired of sending it in for RMAs. This is the second time. First time happened 2 years ago. I want a quality motherboard that will not fail - ever. I’m willing to pay for a good one. Could you guys please recommend me a good motherboard replacement that has the least chance of failing? Money’s not an issue, but I’m not a spendthift. I will pay for quality if necessary. Think Apple build quality - I’m a PC guy that owns Macs, and they never die. Thanks.

Edit in reply to responses below:
I keep having to clear CMOS by jbat1 in order for the PC to start up. Eventually it just stopped turning on.
