Motherboard Fried

[zakaru99]

Hey I have a HP media center m7650n desktop PC and i took it in to the shop and they told me the motherboard had been fried. It had an ASUS P5BW-LA motherboard in it (specs at h10025.www1.hp.(SPACE)com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00783637&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=3245034, remove the space) Can anyone recomend a good new motherboard to get or should i just buy another of the same motherboard? I haven't changed anything from the stock PC except the graphics card and mostly use the PC for gaming.

Edit: It is running Windows vista 32 bit

Recommended to buy the same motherboard, to keep the proprietary computer the same as it is stated on the case.
Also all the parts (CPU; Ram etc )and addon cards (Video card etc )will work with the same motherboard
Plus the connectors will be the same (some of the pwr;LED;rst; etc pin connectors are different on different motherboards, especially the proprietary ones)

Best to stay with the same motherboard replacement, or replace the whole computer
