I tried to install Stretch but unable to get it work. I just tried Testing and now it is working but this is not what I exactly want. I need stability.Yes, I agree for day to day use stability is the best and the older the system the more time it has to get fixed.The motherboard is ASRock H110M-HDV. Would like toknow if someone is using similar settings. Thanks.Probably a firmware problem, did you use the disk with the non-free-firmware included? The packages you need to install are firmware-linux* and intel-microcode.I would imagine prior to installing the non-free components it would be beneficial to know which cd image was used to install testing. If it was an official image w/o non-free firmware his success could most likely be attributed to updated drivers in the kernel in which a backports kernel would suffice. If the testing netinst media did include firmware then your suggestion to install non-free firmware should do the trick. Though it might be neccessary to modify apt sources to include non-free.
If everything is working as it should with the non-free installer and if non-free firmware is needed it will be auto-installed and the sources added to the sources.list and has been the case for me, except while testing the Stretch installer where it had multi bugs filed against it.
