novice needs help regarding new motherboard

Since I built a new computer a couple of years ago, I've had problems with it.
I've tried almost every possible option, but I haven't tried using another motherboard, so I'm considering buying a new one. What socket A motherboards would you recommend?
Help appreciated!

I am with the Evil Dr on that one. I am using one now and it has been pretty fast, stable, and has everything I need and then some.

OK, thanks guys.
My current MB is Aopen AK-77 8x Max. Any of you guys have an opinion on it ?

Aopen has always been "ok" to me. Nothing special, nothing horrible

Ok. Thank you for sharing your knowledge Smile

I will also try another graphics card to see if that might be causing it.
It just keeps restarting, and it's incredibly annoying, to put it mildly Bang Head

Do you guys have any ideas to what might be causing this?

I had an AOpen AK-77... that was a long time ago, but I do remember liking it. It was solid, ahd some overclocking, and if I remember right it was black and silver, which looked kinda cool...

Yeah, the board looks cool, but it's been giving me grief since I bought it.. But then again, there might be other reasons for the lack of stability.

What exactly are the problems? And what are your other components in this system?
