BSOD While playing League of Legends / World of Warcraft.

Done that, its definitely the motherboard then.
Does Asrock have this issues like... more compared to others like Asus and such ?
I always had ASUS before, but my budget gaming pc fitted superwell with this motherboard.

I haven't seen as many AsRock mobo's as I have Asus (Asus is all that I'll use) - but I don't think it's any worse than any other.

Remember, this isn't a 100% diagnosis - so make sure that you're able to return the mobo if it doesn't fix your problems.

Thats kinda hard to place back my motherboard if i buy a new one now.
Once you opened it and used the mobo you cant just get a refund for it and i dont have any motherboard i can use to test this.
Could you make me a recommendation of what mobo fits awesome with my current setup ?

Most places will allow returns, but will charge a 15% (or more) restocking fee. But it's better than buying a new mobo and getting nothing back if you don't need it!

As for which, I've seen a lot of good about the Asus P8 series of boards. I haven't purchased a new mobo in over 3 years - so my last was an Asus P6T Deluxe v2

My processor needs an AM3 socket :P P8 doesnt have that.

The last AMD socket board I bought was an Asus M4 - but I've heard of memory problems with them.
Check the major hardware sites for reviews, that's how I usually select a new board.
