Hi all, long story to folow..

2months ago my com started to freeze up randomly like a few minutes after boot and subsequently it cant post at all so i brought it to a repair shop near my house and dey told me my mobo spoil, so i waited 1 month for corbell to bring in a refurbished mobo and i refitted it into my system again. However after 1 week the same problem came back and the person at the repair shop told me mobo problem, this time round i got a refurbished replacment straight away.

1week later, AGAIN same problem comes up, i decide to change repair shop to the video-pro repair shop @ simlim, the guy said my hdd has bad sectors so today i decided to buy a samsung 840 ssd to replace it, it was fine at the service shop but same problem cropped up again at home i rang them up and the person told me (which he did the first time i approached him) that p55 chipset normally cause a lot of problem and this time should be the chipset problem again.


now should i change to haswell/ ivy bridge or should i rma my mobo again?
thanks and sorry for that long story =)
