This information would have been more helpful in the first post...Anyway,

You need to know the CPU socket of the New motherboard or the old motherboard?

You just bought the new motherboard so I'd assume you know which
socket that one has.

What brand and model is the pc that's not running?

For starters, take the cpu out of the mobo and read what the top of the cpu says.
