Motherboard replacement I put together a computer awhile back, with the XFX MIA78S8209 AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 8200 HDMI Micro ATX AMD motherboard. From what I've read, I'm going to have to replace it. Keep getting d5 message, and try all the solutions posted. I want to replace it, but I'm not sure what the best motherboard to replace it with would be. I'm quite sure it's an AMD 2+ PCU and I'm using DDR2 667. Right now it's a Micro ATX. Do I have to get another Micro ATX Motherboard? Or could I use a regular ATX. I can't be sure if the case is only set for Micro ATX and don't know how to find out. Thanks

Ok it goes with size of board and there will be screw holes under the motherboard and spacers on the holes for yours if it will only fit a micro then youll need to get a micro board if the case has room then you can get a normall size board my advice here tho is to replace the board and the cpu i would get a 775 motherboard with pci e and ddr 2 you can get one from ebay for 35 pounds new and 10 pounds used and you will get a pentum d 820 used for about 10 to 15 pounds its a cheep way to upgrade as this is in my op the best boards around and the cheepist best cpus (you can alsow get micro boards 775 socket like the bio star board ) hope this info is of some use to you

I have the same motherboard there is no problem with it just update the bios on the motherboard then flash them is easy go to their website and download the new bios. If you want i would like to buy the board from you name a price. my email is [email protected] thanks
