[Bug 1888173] Re: I'm not really sure, I was trying to renstall my system

[Richard Schneider]

Hi Chris,

Thank you for your response. I have come to the conclusion the 
motherboard is defective. I won't go into details on this but I have 
tried so many different things and hard drives all with the same 
results. I even tried to install a couple of old Windows operating 
systems and the end result was no you cannot do this. Typically I build 
my own computers from individual pieces. This is one I have had and 
wanted to upgrade and when I did that I had to flash the Bios with a 
newer version in order to support more memory. This only intensified my 
issues with this computer. It is an Intel motherboard, made and sold by 
Intel with no other brand name on it. I recently discovered Intel no 
longer supports their older products, if any at all. I have given up 
after two months of playing with this thing and placed an order for an 
already assembled and ready to run desktop computer.

Sincerely,

Rich Schneider
