Hi all.

Looking to replace an Asus M4A785-M and am seeking recommendations.

I have a friend's Phenom 9850 system that she said has experienced 
problems since first purchased:  inexplicable reboots, either while in 
use or with no activity; at times no video upon boot, though it appears 
to be posting correctly (no error beeps, normal drive activity, etc).  
 From reading online I've found lots of users that experience same 
issues with this board.  System components pass when using diagnostic 
utilities, including Asus' own. CMOS reset, OS re-install, memory and 
P/S swap didn't help. BIOS upgrade failed (but from what I've read, even 
if successful, BIOS update does not resolve issue for most).  Traded 
emails daily with Asus support, however, once I requested an RMA, no 
more response from Asus.

Seeking recommendations for replacement, or maybe some tips of solving 
issue with this board.  TIA
