They are manufactured in china now, any thing manufactured there will fail soon after you buy it. I have been warning people about this problem for some time but no one listens to poor old Zatherous. No respect.
Seriously, the electronic products that are coming out of chine, albeit they are cheep, do fail more often than not within the first year of service. I have had to replace two microwaves, six dvd players, two tv's, a ton of shoes, clothing, and other "Made In China" products. Since
nearly everything is now made in china and sold at walmart, finding things made in Japan or even Mexico has become a real challenge. Hell finding something made in America now is like finding real gold, and often unafordable.
China products = low end junk! You will buy three or four of their items to one made elsewhere.
Oh ya, avoid Asus Mother Boards too, they are not what they once were.
