Motherboard killed, Suggestions?

<< < (2/2)

I bought a Bundle Pack on Ebay for £150, came with:-


ASRock N68C-S UCC 6 Core ready motherboard
AMD Athlon II X4 645 Quad Core Processor
4GB DDR3 Fast Ram 1333 Mhz


I then bought an Nvidia Geforce GTS 450 1GB DDR3 (22.4 GB/s Memory Bandwidth) Graphics card for £78, also on Ebay.


I can max out most games no prob, pretty great considering the price I paid. I would definitely recommend looking into getting a Bundle Pack on Ebay, you can save hundreds of pounds.

Thanks for your replies guys, I'll look after that soon, As I believe it would be a good investment. Didn't know it was this cheap now.

I need suggestions for a new board that supports the same thing, But that is more reliable and has room for 6GB or more total memory.


Specs :
-socket 775 Intel
-800MHz memory frequency
-1PCI-e (Obviously) and 4 SATA ports (One IDE port would be cool too, But not neccesary)


From your previous experiences, Would you recommend a board that has these specs? Price does not matter, As long as its reasonable.

Have you checked your power supply and see if that is the culprit?

Have you checked for any bad caps such ones that are blown, leaking powder or are hanging off by a single wire?

Have you checked to make sure you the 24 power pin/20 pin power connector is correctly fit/snugged tight?

Have you checked the wire for the power supply and making sure the cable isnt frayed?

These are just the basics.. if you did all that and no power is coming/comp isnt turning on, test your power supply with a tester.

If you do not have one, try another ps.  If it doesnt output anything its gone. If it does work and your pc wont turn on, then yea your mobo is shot.

Here is the same board IF you want it. Its $34!

Socket LGA 775- Max memory 8GB

If you know which component is giving you trouble you might be able to try this:




It recently worked for me to fix my laptop GPU.

If you accidentaly spilled alcohol on the pcb and you light the lighter and it catches fire, id say your screwed.

Thats like if your a uber noob. However, i really need to try this on a hp notebook motherboard with a gpu issue. Thanks monkey!
