It's an Asus A8V Rev.2 Deluxe (Socket 939) motherboard. Thank you in advance.

Try search for "retention module" in the usual places

A faulty motherboard can sometimes be a cheaper way of getting these things. Could also try your local PC shop, never know.

'939 retention' brings up a few options, about a fiver but not uk sources so might be a little while.
