    Hi everyone :)
    My motherboard usb ports are randomly going of and on :(
    Im a little short of cash at the moment to upgrade all of my tower so i am looking for a motherboard that will run all of my current hardware.
    The board i have at the moment is the gigabyte ga-m68mt-s2. I don't want to buy another one of these boards incase i only have it a short time and the usb ports go off again (now not a fan of these boards)
    I am currently running an
    AMD Athlon (tm) IIx4 640 processor 3.0 GHZ
    DDR 3 8 gig of memory.(1333Mhz)
    2x Sata hdds and 2 x sata dvd roms

    The cheapest solution may be to buy a USB expansion card. This will bypass the on-board USB ports and hopefully solve the problem.

    (This is a link to a US retailer; however you should be able to find a similar item at an online UK retailer.)

    As for replacing the board, we need more information. What brand/model is the current PC and/or motherboard? What size is it (ATX or mATX)? If the USB add-in card noted above doesn't solve the problem, please post a reply with these details.

    Hope this helps. :)
