about 2 year ago i brought a hp pavilion slimline(model s3811uk)the board doesnt work anymore ,can i replace the board or not to make it work again ,it has a irvine board , GeForce 7100/nForce 630 ,Socket: 775
can anyone suggest a new board that will work
your title is misleading as it speaks about hard drive but the subject is possibly replacing motherboard which is 2 different things so fix your title. a microATX board is to big for that case so have 3 options.
1: pay an arm & a leg for an identical board from hp.
2: buy an identical board off ebay or similar & maybe enherit somebody elses problem.
3: buy an empty clone tower(with psu) & new motherboard then use parts from old pc like cpu, cpu heatsink fan assembly, ram & drives to populate new case & motherboard.

option 3 sounds like the best , i do have a tower, psu etc ,,wouuld any 775 board work
