Looking for some advice on replacing two MSI MB's. One is new and will be exchanged. The other one is 2 years old and built in video just stopped working.

I have been using MSI MB's for years and never had a problem. Bought an MSI 785GTM-E45 785G Socket AM2+ MB for our HDTV. We use Windows Media Center primarily to watch on-line videos and to record TV. First board worked great for a couple of days but then all the built in video went out. Tested the VGA, DVI and HDMI video outputs and nothing works. Returned it but second board did the same thing. Will return it too but do not want to get another MSI MB. 

The other is a two year old MSI K9N2G Neo-FD Socket AM2+ MB. The built in video on this borad stopped working too. Tested VGA and DVI outputs and nothing works.

Thinking of replacing both MB's. Any suggestions on a quality MB in the $100 range? Need an AM2+ MB that supports 6GB DDR2 PC6400 800Mhz memory. Prefer one with no built in video so I can add my own video card.

I am running Win 7, 64 bit.
