Will everything work fine if i replace my motherboard with this one or i have to replace other things too?

[Star OS]

(THIS IS A NEW THREAD! PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THE OLD THREAD THAT I ACCIDENTLY MARKED AS SOLVED.)
Hello, i have a dell studio xps from 2008 or 2009 (it also has a bigger case and it has INTEL cpu.)
This is the motherboard i want to now have:
http://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-GA-F2A55M-HD2-Dual-link-D-sub-Motherboard/dp/B009O7YZAG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1430328526&sr=8-1&keywords=uefi+motherboard
It is the exact same as a Dell Studio XPS. To see if i actually i am talking about another dell pc, you can compare the specs in speccy and a dell studio xps.
Im pretty sure the new motherboard would fit as it has a lot of space.
Why i want to have this motherboard?:
1. UEFI (yeah... lol)
2. to try to fix the crashing or reboot and freeze problems.
My speccy specs:

Instead of that motherboard, this one so it will work:

From your Speccy results, you have an Intel CPU:
"Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 @ 2.50GHz"

The motherboard you linked is for an AMD CPU.
"GIGABYTE GA-F2A55M-HD2 FM2+/FM2 AMD A55"

It will not work. At all. Ever.

This will not work either.
The CPU you have is a LGA775 socket.

The motherboard you have selected is a LGA1155 socket.

Can't work.

USAFRet is right.
It's also highly unlikely that your motherboard is causing crashes/reboots/freezes.
Why don't we help diagnose the problem before rushing out and replacing a component that is usually not the cause of these issues. (Motherboard)

What about the CPU? Probably not the harddrive or BIOS

 

[Star OS]

Then where i can buy a Uefi motherboard (from asrock or gigabyte) with a intel cpu, and L775 socket?

It could be anything. Including software, dust, viruses, bad internet connection, failing drive....

As you have given us zero detail, it is impossible to say anything is 'probably not...'

 

[Star OS]

Bump.
Also, i want to talk about "Then where i can buy a Uefi motherboard (from asrock or gigabyte) with a intel cpu, and L775 socket?"

 

[Star OS]

ANYONE???

Bump what? This thread hasn't been just sitting here for days.

But...to the actual problem. Why are you so bent on replacing a part (on a 6-7 year old PC, that is unlikely to be the problem?
Why don't we try to discover the actual issue, and fix that.

Friend of mine was absolutely convinced that the transmission in her car was dying. Every time she pulled up to a stop light and stopped, it made an ungodly noise. She was 100% convinced the transmission was dying. Hundreds of $$ to fix.

No, it was a loose heat shield over the exhaust. $3 in new bolts, and 30 minutes with an angle grinder removing the old rusted off stubs....fixed.

Why did it happen only at a stop light? The idle RPM vibrated the motor at the precise resonant frequency to cause the loose heatshield to vibrate against the pipe.

Beacuse, uh, well, umm, uh... hardware issue.

 

[USAFRet]

Beacuse, uh, well, umm, uh... hardware issue.

And you determined this how, exactly?

If I remember my timeline, it might be impossible to find a motherboard socket LGA 775 with a UEFI instead of a bios. UEFI started becoming the norm with sandy bridge cpu's which were socket LGA 1155 if I remember right.

Do you get bluescreens?
Is the computer dusty that might be causing over heating?
Are your drivers up to date?
I see from your speccy, you are running windows 10 technical preview, this is in beta and might be buggy.

But it's not a problem with windows 10 either (it feels like a final version.)
My drivers are up to date.
Fans are at low speed or not working, but i already before cleaned 2 times, guess what, the only difference is that the computer now is at max 80c instead of 99c and Cpu fan is 100 RPM faster.
When the freezes and reboots started happening, i was also getting bluescreens, but no bluescreens and rarely freeze or reboot.

 

[USAFRet]

Win 10 may feel like a final version, but it's not.

When you feel like giving us some details as to the issue, I'll be back. Until then...I'm out.

 

[logainofhades]

You are having temp issues. Have you checked to make sure the cooler is properly attached? Chances are it isn't, or your thermal paste is in need of replacement.

 

[Star OS]

Temp issues? Nope.

Why come here asking for help then argue with those trying to help? 80c is too hot for a LGA 775 cpu.

 

[logainofhades]

Temp issues? Nope.

Yes, you do. That is way too hot, for your CPU.

40-60C is hot for a CPU? I dont have a AMD CPU.

You said this. Max 80c is too hot.

 

[logainofhades]

You just said 80c.......

sudden freeze and crash of pc and then restarting may be an indicator of a hardware problem. I had a similar issue with my old pc . try removing the ram and cleaning the gold pins and then re installing it. if that doesn't make any difference try removing 1 stick of ram and running your pc on the other. repeat the same with the other stick. hopefully you may be able to find out something. but why do you want to repair a 7 year old pc. trust me it is not worth it. better buy a new pc.
