Hello Everybody!
Hope you are doing Great today!
Here is my Problem Description!
I bought Intel DG41RQ MotherBoard in 2011(along with Intel Core2Duo E7500 Processor, 4GB RAM & 500GB HDD).
After 3 Months the Sound was not working.
Checked with Settings, Drivers, Audio Services, System Restore, Recovery, Installed Win-XP, Vista & Win-7, but No Use.
Then I went to Store, where I bought the PC and told him the same. Then he told me that the Board needs to be Sent to Intel for Replacement and the Whole Process takes 90-100 Days. As I can’t send it for 90Days, I simply Installed an External PCI Sound Card and Using my PC. As there were no External Sound Card Drivers for Linux and Windows-64Bit, I started using only Windows and that too with 32Bit O.S. After 2Years my PC's HDD and DVD Drive Crashed. Then I replaced my HDD with 1TB HDD and a new LG DVD Drive. Then the System worked fine for 6 Months and now the problem is, My Computer is toooo...Slow.
It takes 10-15 Minutes to boot into windows. Some times it stops after BIOS screen, with a blinking Cursor and Most of the times, it displays the Windows logo and stops there for Hours.
I thought that it could be an issue with Corrupted OS files / VIRUS Issue / Lot of Softwares installed/ Processes running on PC.
So I have taken the Back Up of all the Data and Formatted the HDD and I installed XP with lot of struggles (it took 2 Hours to install). Still I faced the same problem.
Then Installed the MotherBoard Drivers from the Original CD. Still same.
Then I installed the Updated Drivers(Sound, LAN, Graphic and Chipset) from Intel WebSite, Still same.
Then installed Vista, Drivers and checked, but No-Use.
Then installed Win-7 and Still No-Luck.
The only thing that I didn’t do is BIOS Update. (BIOS old Version Year: 2008 and New Versio Year: 2011).
Then I have checked with all other Parts with other Computer ad they are working Fine. Then I went to Intel Site and noticed that Lot of Customers are facing the Same issue. Then I confirmed that the issue is with Intel MotherBoard.
So I want to buy "The Best/Best Rated Model" SystemBoard for My Computer (Intel Core2Duo E7500(2.93GHz)Processor, 4GB RAM & 1TB HDD).
I appreciate any Help/Suggestions regarding, Sound Issue or Slow Boot Issue or New System Board.
Thanks in Advance.
