HELP NOW!!! New motherboard suggestions

I have a computer that I use everyday and I like it. However, there is some evidence that the motherboard is dying, see Please help! Hardware issue?. If I have to replace the motherboard, which is currently a MSI P55-GD80 (a.k.a. MS-7581), which is no longer available new; and given that I want to do as little software work as possible once the new motherboard is installed, what motherboards would you suggest I consider acquiring.

I updated the post because the computer is now dead. PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!

Thanks.

Your MB is a LGA 1156. You won't find any new MB for LGA 1156.

I suggest you look on ebay

Brought my computer into a place that does repairs and the tech there found that the graphics card had gone bad. Lucky me (I guess).
