Motherboard dying?
Posted: Sun Oct 07, 2012 2:57 am
Hi guys.
I suspect my work system is dying.
I recently lost access to a couple of USB 2.0 ports (2 x front & 2 x rear) and after opening up my case to clean out the dust and check the USB connections, I now cannot get any signal out of my video card. I removed my graphics card and dropped in my son's Radeon 6570 to see if it was the card, but no dice (tried two separate expansion slots without luck) - so I figure that the board is on the way out.
Can anyone recommend an affordable replacement for an Asus P6T motherboard? I really need to keep the cost down on this one so i was hoping to replace only the motherboard and still use the same ram (DDR3 3x2mb 1333) HDD (2 x WD 1tb hdd) and Graphics card (Geforce GTX295). Given the size of the case and my graphics card, I'm probably going to need to stick with an ATX card.
I would like to be able to throw in an SDD running Windows 7 as well if budget allows (i'm currently on vista 64), so if anyone can recommend a package that can be had for under the $250 mark (preferably **WAY** under!) I'd be very grateful.
Cheers!
