How exactly do re-installing operating systems with new motherboards work?

alright, and while you're listening to my rookie questions I have one thats off topic of this thread- I currently have an overheating motherboard. It jumps around anywhere from 25c-100c. It's the only thing that overheats my computer, CPU, Graphics card, everything else is fine. Buying a new motherboard will fix the overheating of a motherboard in my computer correct?

Probably, but that may not be the actual problem. see my sig to the right: "Identify the problem before applying a solution".
Why is the current motherboard apparently overheating?
Bad airflow?
Dust buildup?
Dead fan?
Dislodged heatsink?
Yes, a new mb will probably fix it, but it might not.
Why is it doing this?
Been doing it ever since I got my new case. Forgot to put on standoffs, PSU blew, motherboard does it now. 5 Running fans on my case, no dust in them, heatsink on cpu is properly placed. Think I just might of blew it when I messed up.
Come to think of it, there is a giant fan on the side of my case. While the CPU fan is blowing air out, the side fan is blowing air in. Could that be trapping warm air?

Then, yes. It would appear a new motherboard is warranted. Something on it is cooked from the previous "no standoff" power on and subsequent short circuit.
