Need alternative to Asus P5KSE

[bigrockshow]

CPU shut down after starting for 1 sec...Blown PSU?

Hi all,

I think mobo is fried , need a alternative / replacement. Any brand is fine but I don't know which to buy. Since it a old PC, my budget below 100 or less .

Should I buy 2nd hand or brand new?

I think it's quite hard to find a brand new LGA 775 mobo. You can try your luck at Tradepac. Their price list still have a few LGA 775 mobo.

Looking at your specs, you might wish to consider a second-hand MB until you are ready for a full upgrade. You can check out this - Asus P5N-D Mobo, Core 2 Duo E5300 CPU, Coolermaster PSU 650W (keep the MB and sell the CPU).

Edit: to expand a bit, $60 or $70 for the MB + CPU. Use the MB with your existing CPU to check that it is in fact your existing MB that is spoilt and not the CPU. If MB works with your existing CPU, sell off the E5300 CPU. If not, then it could be your CPU that is spoilt in which case, keep either board + the ES5300 and sell off the other MB.

no point getting a new 775 mobo now... just go to garage and see if u can find any 2nd hand.

i sold mine few weeks ago lol...

Thanks guys just wanna give my old pc one last breathe of life.

Do you want to retire the mobo and cpu?

 

[bigrockshow]

Probably? What are my options then ? Worry to buy 2nd hand as well

 

[royfrosty]

Kinda old already your parts. Risk of buying second hand mobo for your cpu. Think if were to change most likely got to change everything.

Buying secondhand mobo is risky as no warranty for that case.

To buy new 775 from tradepac also quite hard. But can give a try and see how much they sell.

But kets say you wanna buy new one do you have a budget set aside?

What wrong with your board?

Hi Asus@SG

Everything was fine when the pc shutdown by itself, restarted and shutdown again.

Finally, no signal to monitor, only fans whirring at high speed.

Brought to Perdure Tech to check, the technician told me Mobo issue

 

[bigrockshow]

err...managed to get systems up and running by removing cpu battery and reinstalling windows.

Now it suddenly shuts down after running normally for a few days...

tried to power up...lights up 1 sec and shuts down again...

blown PSU?

Can upgrade alot.


Asrock B75M - DGS + G2120 = $151
1x Kingston 4GB Ram = $41

Total = $192

i3-2100 vs Your Ancient C2D E6750
AnandTech | Bench - CPU

G2120 is the same as i3-2100 just less 2x threads due to hyper threading.

You can 30-40% more performance.

Asrock B75M - DGS + G2010 = $131
1x Kingston 2GB DDR3 Ram = $26

Buy all from Tradepac.
This is the lowest I would recommand.

Hmm just saw Bizgram.. They also have a ready made system for 355.. Wondering if 200 sunk into a old system is like chasing the dragon
