Solve : What motherboard would be a proper swap??

Answer»

I bought the computer about 3-4 YEARS back and the MOTHERBOARD recently died. Can anyone suggest a proper swap? I'm hoping I don't need more than just the motherboard.

ASROCK fm2aa55m-vg3+ is my old motherboard.

Here are some of my computers info...

http://s32.postimg.org/ieklbm7tx/image.jpgWhat makes you sure that it's the motherboard?  That power supply is a dreadful, LOW quality unit so I wouldn't be surprised of that was causing problems.  Even if it isn't the issue I'd strongly recommend REPLACING it anyway before it does cause issues!It's been running the PC for 3-4 years with no issue. I posted on other sites also and the majority said it could be the motherboard. Turned on at one point and didn't display anything on the monitor....shuts off randomly now isn't even turning on. The PSU that's there is brand new also as in installed it 2 days ago. Quote from: DotHaze on May 11, 2016, 06:13:11 PM

So the cheap 'n' cheerful PSU is the latest change? If your problems started after changing it then return the PSU immediately. At the very least I would recommend that you tested with a known good power supply.It helps to look in the CH database.

Also ditch that crappy PS...lolWonderful move suggesting a MBoard...then stating what evreyone else said...

It's likely the PSU...not the board.I necroed this post just to say: thank you patio...

(I GAVE him the answer he wanted since he did not take the PSU advice..)

I've noticed that all the forums seem to be going downhill these days.
Good luck moderating, I wouldn't want to do it..
