Not sure which motherboard my laptop has, (Gateway T-Series T6321 
model!) but it's already been through installations of Linux MInt, 
PearOS, Ubuntu, and CEntOS, until I finally decided upon Fedora, and I 
haven't had any problems since, and this is a used laptop whom the owner 
was just going to throw away! Now it's my number one machine! (out of 
three!) So maybe there's some trught in what you say, a friend of mine 
HAD a newer Asus laptop he got from WalMart, and after the first 7 
months it went belly up for (strangely enough!) a power issue!
