right guys,
got a call from the missus this morning (i was down in deepest snowy somerset working) saying that the keyboard wasn't working - it's backlit so when it's not there is an issue. i got her to unplug and replug it but no go. now i've just got home and it did the same to me, although after a few attempts it did come back on. now i know a couple of the usb ports are non operative and now it looks as if a third is on it's way.
now as i have an ext-hdd & an ext-dvd burner and printer and keyboard/mouse/headset all needing to be plugged in (although not all used at the same time) i'm of the mind to go and get a new mobo either tonight or tomorrow.
current board is an asus p5k-c, not the best board but untill the usb ports started playing up it has been a faithful servent - and it o/c's pretty easy. now i know i could change the cpu aswell as the mobo, but there is still life in the legs of my e6750, so it will be the mobo only - also i can't afford to do both right now.
so would like some clues as to the mobo of choice. nothing to pricey,
1. needs some sort of o/c potential, nothing mad.
2. minimum of 4 rear usb's, 6 is preferable.
3. price of £80-100 max, i know there is a lot in that range.
i'm open to most opinions as i'm not brand driven and look for the best bang and buck at the time.
so if it's asus then asus it will be or maybe biostar or dfi etc etc but call me - and i don't mean literally, but where did j&w come from as i've not heard of them before or are they an off shoot from someone?
