computer savvy friends - I'm calling out for help. My motherboard is going out like a year old fad band on roadrunner. (Was awesome for a while then just took a crap on itself out of nowhere for no apparent reason.)
Here's my predicament:
This is my exact motherboard....obviously I was a few months too late on this....

but this is what I've found:
http://www.skyline-eng.com/index.cf...foxconn-bengal-rs780-motherboard-4006272r.cfm
My gateway is a DX4300, and apparently according to the site the motherboard I found on skyline-eng.com should work for it....but I don't wanna buy it then it be screwy when I replace the motherboard and be all kinds of worse off than I was to begin with.
I was hoping to find a solution to where I can just trade out the motherboard and then it work like nothing bad ever happened, but I'm completely ignorant about the hardware aspect of computers and I don't know if that's entirely possible.
