I'm having problems with an Advent computer that is only a year old. The system continually freezes when playing games and a lot of the time, when switching the computer on, no signal is being sent to the monitor (it remains in sleep mode); even though the computer boots as normal.
A computer place concluded that the problem was the motherboard, so therefore I'm looking for a new motherboard and whatever else you guys would recommend.
This is the first time I'll replace a motherboard so I don't really know whether I will have to replace the CPU aswell, and whether it's worth getting a new case.
The current specs of the system can be found at the following URL: Advent T9304
Could somebody recommend what the best solution would be?
What type of motherboard I should get; whether I need to replace the CPU, and if so, which CPU (something that closely resembles the current P4 Prescott 3.2Ghz;whether or not I need to/should bin the advent case for a new one w/ PSU?
Any help would be appreciated.
