Doesn't have anything to do with brand anymore, I find. These days, no matter what brand you choose; there is a 50/50 chance it will either work, or not. Quality control for all manufacturers has tanked.
That's not true at all. I've built computers for friends, family, and companies for years using Asus boards 95% of the time, and I've yet to come across one that went bad. I've had one build using an MSI board that had issues, but I wasn't fully convinced the motherboard was the culprit.
Regardless, if you are having a 50% failure rate no matter what brand, then I'd have to say it's you that are causing the problems.
