What motherboards can I use on a hp p'-7-1414 with a ms 7778 jasmine mobo fm2 socket. Added a 1tb hardrive and Radeon hd 7750 video card
Mother board dead. Want to get a better mono and psu. That will work my case and use my cpu and every thing else
 
if you already know that it's an FM2 socket, then getting an FM2 socket motherboard will be what you do.
As for one that will fit properly in the PC case you have, as long as the original motherboard follows the standard ATX layout, then an standard ATX motherboard will work.

Just look up FM2 socket compatible motherboards online.

But just to make sure though, when looking at the back of the PC where the I/O is, are the cutouts carved into the case, or is it a big rectangle that has another piece put into it that can be removed?
Because if it can be removed, then you can get any FM2 socket motherboard and throw it in there with it's own I/O shield.

But if the I/O shield is cut into the case, then you'll need to get a replacement board that is exactly the same.

--UPDATE--
The motherboard that comes in that system is uATX form factor, while a standard size ATX board might fit, I wouldn't take that chance, so you either find a uATX FM2 board, or you get an mATX (microATX) motherboard, again, assuming that you can use a removable I/O shield, otherwise, if the I/O shield is cut into the case itself and not removable, then you'll have no choice but to search on eBay for that exact motherboard.

--COMPLETE UPDATE--

LOL, I wasn't aware of this until now, but uATX and mATX are the same thing, just a different way of referring to it.

So a standard size ATX board is out of the question.

Referring back to what I said though, if the I/O shield is not removable, then you should follow that link I posted for eBay to get another jasmine board.

If the I/O shield is removable, then you can search eBay still, or other places in the used market such as Cragislist and OfferUp for an FM2 socket microATX motherboard from manufacturers like MSI, Gigabyte, ASUS, and EVGA.

Any FM2 socket compatible chipset will do, but if you want to overclock it, you will need to make sure you get a board with a chipset that supports overclocking on that CPU. Such as the A85X. But there are a couple others that can overclock the CPU as well I believe.
 
Looks to me like all the HP P-7 1000 series models have removeable IO shields so in THAT regard, any same form factor replacement should work, however, it also looks like those are bottom PSU mounted proprietary motherboards that might not put things in the same place as a norma mATX or uATX board (Which are the same anyhow). Taking a picture of the back of your case and posting it would answer some of these questions.

The FM2 CPU is not going to improve in a new motherboard. What you really need is a new CPU/mobo/memory combo to get substantial improvement. You also have a dated GPU and your PSU needs replaced.

Essentially, you need a new rig (the guts of it, anyway) to get better performance.
 
Yes, a new motherboard will not "change" anything, nor probably will most CPUs that are FM2, even if they are moderately "stronger" than what you already have. It would be a waste of money IMO to throw additional money at that platform. Save your money, get a newer platform. That platform was honestly pretty pathetic, even when it was brand new. It was actually WORSE than the previous FX platform.

You can get into a decent Ryzen system, motherboard, CPU and memory, for around 300-350 bucks. Maybe less if you're willing to settle for a Ryzen 3 with only four cores and no hyperthreading.
 


 
if you are set on using the current pre built machine case, power supply, and storage then this is your upgrade components.

The Ryzen 5 2400G has integrated graphics that would be better performing than the Radeon HD 7750 you stated earlier.
The integrated graphics on this CPU is actually enough to play games at 1080p low/medium settings with an average of 45-60fps.

overclock the CPU and integrated graphics and you'll get a little more performance out of it.
And this system will be ready to go for a dedicated GPU later on if and when you decide you want to upgrade.

But these parts and their prices/availability are all based on the assumption you live in America.

If you live in a different country, please tell us where.
