I need a motherboard

[Clueless]

Alright all you hardware hunters, I need help finding a mobo. I have been having random crashing problems for some time now, and I think its the motherboard, it just doesnt play well with other hardware.

 

I have an Athlon64 3000+ socket 754 MSI K8N Neo Platinum, what I would like to find is a socket754 board with NO onboard options except ethernet. No audio, video, or anything else, just a plain jane, preferrably with a VIA chipset.

 

I want to use this as a test to see if the crashes stop, and I really dont want a full featured, loaded mobo to introduce more possibility of conflicts.

 

Thanks guys, happy hunting!!

finding a modern mobo without onboard sound is next to impossible, however if you disable it in the bios it will be the same as if it isn't there.

Clue, try the giga-byte

GA-K8NS Pro

 

Both myself and one of my buddies have that board with 3200+ and 3400+ and neither of us have any problems. It has onboard sound, but I just diable that. It uses the nForve 3 250 chipset, I know you said you're looking for via...

 

Ok well, newegg doesn't wanna work for searching right now so I can't give you a handy link.
