Hello! I have an HP Pavilion M9250F Desktop PC, and I have the following issue with it, but not sure how to fix it. It started with my monitor going into sleep mode which was normal. However, a few hours later, when I was trying to get the monitor out of sleep mode, it didn't come on and was showing "no signal". So I shut the entire power off, and turned it back on after a minute. The computer came on, yet I was still not getting signal on my monitor, but this time, my computer constantly started beeping. HP's website had a troubleshoot process which I followed which was indicating a hardware error, and to test the RAM first, then the video card. I tried the process but nothing worked. So I am assuming it is a motherboard error.


My motherboard has 775 socket with 4x240 pin DDR2 RAM, and Intel Core 2 Quad processor. Please find below the link for the computer specs and motherboard specs. I was wondering, could someone refer me to a somewhat decent motherboard that I can replace with the one currently in the system? Also, if I were to upgrade to a better a motherboard that has DDR3 memory slots, and I purchase the correct memory cards, would the rest of the components work with that motherboard? Could someone make some recommendations for me?

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR READING MY POST AND RESPONDING.

If the beeping was a series of quick beeps and then starts over then its definately a memory issue. The first thing to do would be to remove the memory and reinsert it. Usually this fixes the issue.

I've tried taking the memory cards out, and replacing them. I also went and purchased new memory cards and installed new ones. But the probelm continued. So I removed the video card and re-installed it, and even tried installing a new card, but same error. So i was reading that it's most probably a motherboard issue. Any suggestions on which motherboard is good?
 
Basically, if the motherboard supports your processor, like is the right socket, and your RAM, (if you get a mobo that supports better RAM, your current memory may not work with it) and has a PCI-express slot, and everything you need, than it would work. I do not really have time to do this, but basically, just go with one that has good reviews and the features you want, and that has the right kind of socket for your processor.
