I built a new PC about a month ago and it stopped working after about 2 weeks. After some troubleshooting I'm sure that the motherboard is causing the problem. The motherboard I have was good while it lasted but it didn't have all the ports I needed. Nothing too serious just need another fan header. I was thinking I would just buy a new different motherboard seeing that the one I have is out of stock. What kind of problems if any, could I run into with changing motherboards and keeping everything else the same. If I keep the same chipset will everything work out okay or what?
 
Solution
If you uninstall all other drivers the mobo has (even if you don't)...drivers that only that mobo has (not chipset drivers)....additional lan, wifi etc.......you should be fine.
If its the same chipset and all other hardware unchanged i don't see what can do you harm.
