As of the last couple of days, I've been having some problems with what I'm assuming is my motherboard. I've had terrible ethernet connectivity, a rear USB port stopped working, and my headset which is plugged into the audio port has been very fuzzy from both the microphone and the speakers. I'm assuming it's my motherboard going bad but I was hoping to get some more qualified advice. I've also tried connecting my computer directly to the router(I use powerline adapters), and the connection is still very poor. The ethernet is my biggest grief. The upload and download speeds are fine, but I'm constantly disconnecting from the internet every half hour or so, and the only way to get the connection back is to unplug and re-plug in the ethernet cord. Any help diagnosing this problem and possibly suggesting a good AM3+ motherboard would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
