Better motherboard replacement for Pegatron M2N78-LA?
My desktop computer, a M2N78-LA Pegatron motherboard has died because I have done tests, such as switching the RAM cards in different slots and taking them all off and turned on the computer for a beeping sound, but none occurred so I'm mostly sure the motherboard is dead. Especially after I found out that this type of motherboard has been having problems for many customers and said it's life-span is 12-18 months.
I wonder, what would be a better replacement motherboard for this that at or under $130, about the price of the pegatron motherboard.
Also, would I have to reinstall Windows 7 OS that was originally on it?
Also, i've been reccomended a
A785GM-LE/128M motherboard, would that work since it's pretty cheap for only $35 or so. Thanks in advance.
Also to note, the desktop originally had an AMD Anthalon II X4 processor (quad core) and 6gb of RAM with windows 7 OS ans 1tb of HDD.
