I've got a hackintosh wich was been working for a year, but know it seams to have a motherboard problem and I've to replace it and I don't know if continue with Gigabyte or change to Asus. I've read that this last years gigabyte motherboars hasn't gone very well because they break in months.

So shoud I change to Asus motherboard?
If yes wich one, need LGA 1155 socket and mATX format?

My components:
Motherboard: GA-B75M-D3P (broken)
CPU: i5-3350P (LGA 1155 socket)
GPU: Asus GT610
Case: Fractal Desing Core 1000 (mATX)
HD1: WD 1TB (Windows and data)
HD2: Maxtor 160GB (osX-Mavericks)
 
I would try to use a Gigabyte B75 or similar as you could probably get your existing installation working easiest that way.

Do some research on successful Asus Ivy Bridge motherboard builds.
 
fingers crossed for you that its all working now. Perhaps the GT610 wasn't quite seated properly in the PCIe slot? Hope you have no further issues.
