BIOSTAR G31-M7 TE Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Could not get video signal so I took it back to store.Technician was able to get a video signal. I took it home and I was able to get a video signal. Then it stopped working again. It works and then it doesn't work. Wasted 45 minute drive to Burlington store plus gas just to have the same problem.

In the past year I've bought 7 of these boards and 5 didn't work out of the box and one failed with in 30 days. I don't recommend this motherboard to anyone.

Lowest priced Motherboard I could find on this site or at their associate local store Like installing any 775 processor from the C 400 to 2 core quad and up to 4 gigs of memory Used the IDEA port for my DVD Burnners On a rebuild On a new build Last purchase was new build which I installed W H Server Bios can be set up for headless operation as a server Meaning no monitor, mouse or key board; remote access from from any computer Like the 4 USB rear ports and up to 4 more on the header. Wish BS had kept the chasses fan pins for the front fans to cool the hardrives. choice of network cards in the drivers down load I choise the 1000 bite card Love the 4 SATA ports and dual channel memory if both slot are used with matching memory chips. Server has a dual core processor and a single 2 gig memory chip It is a file serve and backs up the OS and daily files for six computers in my house. Good buy, recomend.

Got here fast and works great. Got this after learning my out dated motherboard doesn't support core 2 duos'. No prob, just ordered this one and now I'm ripping through all of my games and internet apps. Smart buy for anyone wanting to upgrade their PC. Thanks

I recently built a new pc and I always go for a pricey mob. This one is cheap but it was easy to setup even with a case that I didn't have directions, you know, where all the cables go. I have had problems with mob connections before so I was a bit reluctant to try it. It worked the first time I fired it up. I like that it had four SATA connetors not just two like most mobs. I have had it about a month and if has worked perfectly. I am running an Intel Celeron 1.8Ghz 512k 800mhz socket 775 processor with Corsair XMS PC6400 DDR2 800MHz 4GBs memory and XFX GeForce 9500GT 1 GB PCIe graphics card. Great value.

Motherboard was DOA; returning for a replacement board; we'll see what happens with the replacement; got my fingers crossed.

Ordered this mother board. first one USB did not function, Biostar said windows problem. Exchanged, new ne did not get past POST screen. Biostar blamed memory, same memory as one with no USB. Changed to other brand.

Comment:
The 533 memory only works with a FSB 533 1066 cpu. Ex. most Pentium D's are not 533 Mhz. Need to clarify the information on the memory options. The motherboard is excellent but the reseller needs to give correct information.

Bought this a couple of days ago and just got around to hooking it up and it is DOA, I will return it to your company and try another one. I Also had purchased the G41 mobo about a month ago and it to was DOA, so I returned it and the second one is working great. I love shopping at your company they are the best and no problems with returns.

Works great. Nice upgrade

I couldn't be more happy with the Motherboard. It was easily installed and best off all has all the on board video, and sound work great.

Comment:
After 2 DOA Intel motherboards, it was quite refreshing to hit the on switch and get a post! This board was easy to configure and install and after 10 days, has run flawlessly. Running a Pentium D, 2 GB ram and a 512 MB PCIe Nvidia 9400 with an Antec 450w PS on Vista Home Basic.

Comment:
I was extremely happy to get this Mo-Bo, but when it arrived it was DOA. I'm returning right now.

Comment:
I had all what I was looking for and more.

Comment:
Bought this in a barebone kit - its TINY. Great value, works well so far. Doesn't have much for features, only 2 ram slots, etc, but for an inexpensive motherboard its decent.

Comment:
Bought this for my Stepdad and he was happy with it. He needed it to replace an old AGP slash DDR one MoBo he had in his computer so he could upgrade his ram & video for windows7.

Comment:
I the small size of the board was a surprise to me. A good solid board. No problems installing the board. Could not check it until I got a power supply, needed that 4 pin connection. A very good motherboard well-worth the money

Comment:
Ordered for a Christmas computer to my dad and board was DOA. I guess it will be a New Years present now.

Comment:
This system board performs as described. It was easy to install and fits well in my case. It provides all the features for a FD, IDE, and memory. THe audio and external usb and video connections provide ample connections for the purpose of this computer. Audio sounds great and video performs well.

The customer service guy told me this one would be the equivalent to the Biostar MB that burned up, so I took his advice. My computer geek friend installed it for me. It did not have enough connections for both my CD Rom drives & 3.5 disk drive, so he had to disable one. That was disappointing.

Comment:
all the power pin an front plate connectors in one place

Comment:
I bought this to build a PC for the family room. Setup was very easy. There were no surprises, neither good nor bad. It just worked as expected. I bought it in the combo with the processor and fan. I have no regrets so far.

Comment:
This board didn't work. I'm sending it back as I type. I'll exchange for another & hopefully that one won't be DOA.
