Hello,

Can anyone comment on the quality, stability etc of the ELITEGROUP
K8T890-A MOB.
I built a system in August and since then have had endless problems.
Disks disappearing, O/S [Win 2K]==> I/O Error or lost completely, have
replaced drives (both system and storage drives) several times from both
MAXTOR and SEAGATE, all drive > 137 Gb, thanks to warranty status still
available, but now I am beginning to wonder if there might not be
another underlying problem. Becoming difficult to believe so many disks,
new ones too could be problematic, even though both the Seagate Disc
Wizard and MAXBLAST returns diagnostic error messages.

Thanks

Adam
BTW: Have considered Rootkit issues also, but both Norton's NAV and
Webroot Spy Sweeper indicated no threats of that nature

What other problems besides the disks mentioned below?

This is more likely due to power supply problems or drives
overheating, maybe cabling but I would've expected that
after moving the drives around this much the cables would
have been a more apparent problem if they were.
