A bit weird, but leaving the PC on, for consecutively 48 hours fixed my problem.  :S So,  I'll be waiting a few months to upgrade my chip and CPU as a final solution.

Happy New Year!

If you want a mATX go for ASUS Prime B350M-E or ASRock AB350 Gaming-ITX/ac.

If you're OK with ATX form factor and higher $$$, go for ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR VI EXTREME. I really couldn't recommend the X370 Taichi at the moment. My experience with ASRock hasn't been stellar thus far. MSI and Gigabyte are no-go in my list from a long time.

Other opinions are welcome too!

Let us know either way! We'd love to have some feedback and information.

Maybe try a different Mobo if you can. the x370 gaming k4 is End Of Life. it has Bad Ram support one of the very worst in the AM4 lineup and bad Audio still not addressed by ASrock. the Gaming K4 is a hotmess and even ASrock knew it so they stopped making it.]]> Thu, 28 Dec 2017 22:35:33 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6958&PID=41896&title=asrock-first-experience-becoming-very-bad-solved#41896 <![CDATA[Asrock first experience becoming very bad (Solved) : zlobster wrote:My advice -...]]> https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6958&PID=41889&title=asrock-first-experience-becoming-very-bad-solved#41889 Author: Xaltar

I couldn't agree more Clap

There is literally NO motherboard manufacturer that has this bad of a failure rate. If all the boards had related issues then it may be possible that a bad batch found it's way onto the store shelves (typically caused by a bad batch of specific components) but with so many, vastly different, issues the most likely culprit is the store engaging in questionable practices Ouch

Rule of thumb, don't leave your PC unattended. You're putting too much trust on someone you barely know. I've seen terrible things happen in similar situations. I'm yet to see a technician who handles HW properly.

Try to request a convenient time for them where you can observe their troubleshooting.

While the PSU may be indeed bad, once you lost sight from your machine it's all speculations from there on.

Best of luck! Keep us posted.

I contacted my store. He asked me to leave my pc with him for more troubleshooting. he's suspecting that I have a bad Power supply.

You shouldn't feel uncomfortable requesting a RMA. After all, you paid for it fair and square. There may be some specific country rules and regulations in your case, though. That, I don't know.

Getting a bad mobo 3 times in a row is starting to leak beyond the realm of luck. Especially when the same store is involved. It seems to me that the store MIGHT be just swapping the RMA boards between their clients.

Unfortunately, not even the 250EUR Taichi comes with a tamper sticker. I was able to open my box and gut it without a trace. I then re-packed the whole thing and nobody could tell it was opened in first place... I guess a 10c sticker is too much for manufacturers these days.

My advice - get a refund if you can. With the cash try another (more reputable) store. You could also try and explain your situation to someone from the store, who's not completely r-tarded, or maybe even the manager (granted he's not r-tarded as well). Ask them if you could try booting the mobo in front of them, run a live Debian USB and see if all is fine.

It is the 3rd board. I feel a bit uncomfortable requesting RMA.  I wish I had left my first faulty fan header.
1st faulty fan header.
2nd faulty network card and rgb
3rd faulty usb hub.
 
What should I double check next before leaving the store?

My short experience with wireless mouse/kbd (and esp. w/ UEFI/BIOS) was short for a reason.

One thing comes to mind. Many users appear to be using the same board w/o any (reported) issues. You are among the 'lucky' few not to be on that list.

Maybe RMA is the right way?
