I have a compaq PC not sure the model(Presario maybe..) I'm not really computer literate but I think the motherboard fried, I opened the case to clean it out and noticed the heatsink was literally clogged with dirt and dust. so I took it apart and cleaned it, I did this because the computer would frequently turn off in the middle of me doing anything on the computer, it got to where it would boot up 4 maybe 2 to 3 seconds and power down. Well anyway, now I cant even get it stay booted for more than 2 to 3 seconds. I've tried to locate another ASUS P4GV-LA motherboard but every site either discontinued it or is out of stock, I was wondering if anybody knows of another motherboard that is compatible with my pc, I think the ASUS P4M900M4 is but not sure, not sure where else to look or who to ask for advice. Would really appreciate it if someone could point me in the direction of another motherboard I could use instead of the P4GV-LA model, and if so what I would have to do to make it work on my pc if anything.

I want to buy The Asus P4GV-LA motherboard. Every place
its either out of stock or not made anymore. Where can I get one?
And Im sure its my motherboard that's the problem.
Well motherboards are the basis of compatibility, it would depend on what cards you have installed, just about any hard drive will work on any motherboard given that it has the correct ports. sata hard drives require a motherboard with an sata connector, but other than that it would only depend on the video card, memory and processor you have. Please reply with the specifications of your pc and we will go from there.
This is not the direct answer to you question but I believe it is more likely that the CPU is damaged than the motherboard.Take it out and see if it shows signs of heat damage. Repaste and reinstall. The borror or or try a different CPU before buying a board.
