one odd problem i had with my msi k8n neo2 platinum mobo was with the exact memory slot i used. for some odd reason they had a setup to where if you had a so in so number of dimms and if it was dual sided or not you had to use certain slots. it caused me alot of problems with rebooting randomly. this is really the only motherboard i had problems with, and i dont think most motherboard are set up like mine, but just thought you should take some situation into consideration if your troubleshooting
