The stock motherboard in the P6210y is: M2N78-LA (Violet)
I'm wanting to upgrade as I am suffering with a few problems. Simply converting movies and putting them on my Zune causes a fan to 'spool' up and run rather loudly. CPU usage during this task is 50-56%. It's a more common occurrence during the summer.
I upgraded my graphics card the same day I purchased the computer, but was not informed I should have also upgraded my power supply. As the computer has never reboot or suffered from power issues, this went unnoticed until recently.
I know I must upgrade my power supply, but would also like to upgrade my processor. I think I can manage the power supply issue, so I was hoping for some processor advice. Does my machine need it? If so, what can I put into it?
