asus abmzn-la mobo, help find or replace plz!!!

[Collon]

compaq presario sr2017cl (sr2000 series) amd athlon64
mobo says asus abmzn-la (but nothing on Asus site or Google!)

Computer won't post. Took both rams out, computer/mobo won't beep. I think
even this pci-express mobo board should still beep if it is good mobo and
processor. Nothing wrong with psu, monitor, or ram . . . I've verified these
components work.

So.....if I can't find another mobo just like this one and I don't know how
to verify that the processor still works, can you help me find another
abmzn-la with processor that I can buy?

If not, can you help me find a close alternative mobo to replace this one?

Thanks!!!

On page 2 or 3 of a google,
"looked up the motherboard, and wrote down ASUS ABMZN-LA took me
an hour to figure out it was really ASUS A8M2N-LA (you can't tell
it's numbers at all) ..."

I would recommend upgrading to an AMD dual-core or quad-core or
Intel quad-core 64-bit mobo. YPYM, YTYP.

Cheers!

Paul look at that above. Shouldn't I just buy that? It looks like it comes
with ram and the cpu. My god, it's only $140 and I was about spend $110 just
to get the mobo! It doesn't come with fans though :( So when I get this
thing, I will have to see about how to get fans in it.

Don't you think the fan on the heat sink I have in the old comp should work
on this one? Is it possible to get another fan in this barebones comp some
how?

Thanks for taking so much time to help me Paul and Kony.

I dont think it comes with heatsink either, it does look like a good deal
though. I would invest in a good HS/fan to protect investment.

Yes pokeyman..you were right...but the old heatsink and cpu worked on the
new mobo...i got her up and running now...

BTW, they dropped the price another $15 the day I made the order...I really
got a great deal...

Of coarse it would with the old CPU...hoe is the temp? if it seems higher
then it was, put new HS grease on it (use Nail polish remover or Acetone) to
clean cpu and HS.

Hey Paul, thanks alot for all your help and that motherboard you
suggested....it came today. The MOBO was the problem. I took the old cpu off
the other comp and put it on the new mobo...the comps posts now with no
probs.

Further good news..tigerdirect was out of the cpu when I did the order . .
so I was able to cancel the order of that before it shipped :)
