Have a look in to the formfacrot documentation and take a meter stick to your board. Possible matches are ATX, mATX and microATX. |

Thank you for all the help! Now Im assuming that if I'm putting in a new motherboard, the chipset doesnt really matter? Does the socket type matter? As far as I know microATX is basically the shape and size of the motherboard. So will any microATX motherboard fit in my case? Sorry Im new to this but Im wondering if all microATX's have the ports on the back in the same location or would I need to find one that has the ports in the right location so it would fit the back of my case? Thank you! |

I guess the most important thing is finding a motherboard that my processor fits. Which makes me wonder, is it my motherboard or processor that is shot? Any ideas on how I can determine which is shot? or if both are shot? |

Arno Do you mean the processors that the motherboard can hold arent that good and that I should determine whether a new processor is cheap enough to justify the trouble? I think thats what you mean, if not, I am confused. |

Also the light comes on, onthe motherboard so I am assuming it is just the processor thats fryed. |
