Play swapsies with me?

[denny]

I'd like to swap out all the bits and bobs from my PC into a known-working one, one at a time, to make sure it is the motherboard that's fried before I buy a replacement. If you've got a PC you're willing to either bring round my place (lift available in London area), or I can bring mine to yours, and then we can play with screwdrivers for a while, I'd really really appreciate it. Usual bribes of takeaway food etc offered :)

For reference, I think my machine is composed of the following bits: AMD64 3800+ (ASUS A8NE-FM motherboard), 2 x 512MB DDR400 RAM, 200GB SATA HDD, nVidia GeForce 6600 (PCI-E) and GeForce MX4000 (PCI).

Ideally I'd like to play swapsies with everything including the CPU, which would require a socket 754 motherboard in the destination machine, but everything else should go into a variety of modern machines afaik.

Was this a pre-built machine? There might be something on the manufacturer's website that could help.

I don't know if the Asus website will be much help - I didn't find it that useful when I was trying to find out stuff about my motherboard. But that board sounds like it's used by PC manufacturers - I've found stuff about it on the Fujitsu-Siemens website. They might be others about. Or the Asus forums might be worth a try.

Yes, I bought it from Mesh Computing - over a year ago though.
