I have a four year old Micron with a Pentium 4 HT processor and an Intel D875PBZ motherboard. It died on me recently and will not boot, that is, when I turn it on the fans and hard drive will spin but nothing shows up on the monitor at all. Through swapping components with a similar system I have determined it is not the: processor, RAM, HD, video card, or monitor. This leaves me to believe it is the motherboard.

I may replace it with the ASUS P4C800 or with another Intel D875PBZ. Can I drop either in, hook everything back up, and expect it to boot up from the hard drive like it used to?

Is there anything else I should check before buying the new MB?


Thanks

Hello pstritt and welcome to PC Help Forum.

Before you scrap the Motherboard check the power supply. Make sure all of the voltages are correct. Also look at the capacitors (the things that look like coke cans) on the motherboard. If the top looks like it is about to burst open, then you may have trouble.

As for the Asus MB, I haven't had time to look so I would hate to hazard a guess...

Good Luck
