Gigabyte decided to follow Asus suit...

...and switched to making crap

The last two motherboards that I bought are neither GB nor ASUS.

The previous 2 were Gigabyte. One of them has issues suspending and waking up in Linux, as well as a network adapter problem - it may disappear from the system after reboot from Windows into Linux or after Linux wakeup from suspend. Another one was defective to a degree where applications were closing with errors and system went into BSOD every so often, increasingly often.

GB had audacity to send me a completely dead, non-working motherboard for an RMA replacement, similarly to what Asus had done - they returned me the defective motherboard without doing any repairs. The defect is still there - if Windows startup was interrupted, it will not boot again until DVI connector of the on-board graphics was disconnected and system rebooted and allowed to complete the POST w/o anything connected to DVI.

Thus no more Asus or Gigabyte products for me - enough!
