To use the recovery disk set, and access the data in your hard drive easily, you will need to get an eMachines board for $159.95, and a new power supply... Yet your risk of future failure will remain high.
It is very tricky to find a new board that will use your existing memory, cpu, cpu fan, and hard drive.
Your best deal may be to bite the bullet and buy one of the specially priced combo deals where you get a new board and a new cpu at a significantly reduced price... as the boards start to age on the shelve when new models keep coming out, you can get a very good deal... Take a look at "Combo motherboards" at such online sites as www.tigerdirect.com, www.newegg.com, www.directron.com, www.zipzoomfly.com, www.cdw.com, www.pcconnection,com, www.techdepot.com, www.frys.com or www.outpost.com, among others.
