Hi There, Firstly are you sure the motherboard is the cause of your problm? Could be a configuration or a driver problem that seems like the mother board is the cause.
If the mother board really is the problem and you can find the exact same model mother board either on ebay or if it is a recent model from the manufacturer. Then it is just a mechanical problem. Pull your system apart taking note of where all the case cables and drive cables go. For cables that can go back in more than one direction there is normally a red stripe on one side. Motherboards normally don't include things like CPU's and RAM so you will have to take them off your old board and put them on your new board. Put it all back together and away you go.
If the mother board is not the same model then you probably won't be able to use your RAM and CPU unless it is built to use the same ones. There are so many variations of RAM and CPU you would have to be careful to get a board that would suit them. This is like taking your hard disk out of one computer and putting it into another and expecting it to work. I have been able to fiddle with drivers and **** and actually get it working but it is never quite as good as it used to be.
Can I sugest you post your symptoms here and not how to perform a proposed solution. If the answer really is to replace you mother board you will still get a description of how to do it. But the answer may be something much simpler.
