My older ASUS board with nforce chipset was absolute junk. One of the reasons I hate ASUS because that was a horrible experience and the stupid 'tech support' was complete worthless idiots.
When I first bought my FX 5700 I go to put it in the system and it freezes when it gets to windows. I did about a week of troubleshooting and nothing worked.
ASUS's reply to my question......get a new video card....I said screw you guys and your crap motherboards, got an MSI board and the card worked like a champ.
the MSI had a VIA chipset. I don't know about now, but VIA was decent in the past, but each chipset had flaws. The nforce chipset tend to run pretty hot, and the NB's are never flat =/
