Having worked with a MOBO manufacturer, I would say that this is somewhat plausible though not necessarily the fault of the engineers. In my experience, both users and company administration, e.g. sales, CEOs have a lot to do with failures. An example, users are used to a particular MOBO brand, they want to try the new gadget-a video card usually, which requires much more power than the recommended power supply. They…

The users do not bear responsibility here. It's up to the manufacturer to say no if it's not possible. And why are managers testing new GPU/mobo combinations? A company run like…
Yes, a company like that and not learning lessons deserves to fail. The problem is that there are too many young uneducated graduates, that were never taught to distinguish the truth from myth. Garbage companies and their greed continue to take advantage of their naivety because they know the industry is f**ed and there is no real way to make a sustainable living. The economies are, have been, and will continue to be messed up. Just take a look around and see how jobs are nonexistent. Those jobs that do exists, are few and far between. People mostly get hired by knowing someone in a company, a friend, a family member that can recommend them. There will never be enough jobs for everyone.
Basically, the company is crap, a by-product of a long-declining, garbage-industry, based on political policies and lies from the past. It reminds me of the "Never-ending story,". Recycle, repeat! Recycle, repeat! Never Innovate :(
