Hello, I suspect that my board has burned, the keyboard and mouse stopped working, even light (laser) mouse lights. I disassembled everything and mounted it out of the box.
The graphic does not work in the first PCI-E slot and now only works on the second, it takes a lot to start and always blocks when asked to enter the bios, and when it goestakes a minute and blocks.
It is an ASUS-Deluxe P5NT
I do not intend to upgrade but need to replace the board by an identical to keep the rest of the components.
Although it is an ASUS board, I still prefer the same brand. But I accept any suggestions
After searching I concluded that the P45 chipset is best for socket LGA 775.
I thought about buying P5QC to have the advantage of supporting DDR2 / DDR3, but do not know if there is a better and cheaper board.
I wonder if you can help choose the "best" and cheaper board.
What do you suggest me?

Thanks a lot!

You're not going to find that board new anymore. In fact, the selection of new 775 boards is almost dried up. The LGA 775 socket has been obsolete for years. You might get lucky at ebay if you keep looking. You may be forced to consider an upgrade afterall.

I think this would fit your needs, accept the name brand. This is a GIGABYTE board but it seems very promising and is $50.

Pretty soon, you will need to upgrade eventually. This should last you for a few years, but I suggest upgrading in the next 3+ years.

Thanks for the replies.
I know this system is already a bit outdated, it's actually not for me, but for someone who does not want to spend much on the "repair".
My system is much more updated!

Jcomptech - That board turns out to be weaker than that burned (P5NT-Deluxe), no PCI-E and DDR2. But thanks for the tip!

Components that belong to the board are:
CPU - Intel Q9450 (LGA775)
MEM - Team Elite PC6400 (2x2GB) (DDR2)
EVGA Nvidia GTX 260 216Core (PCI-E x16)
Power Source - Nox NX520

Sincerely looking for another board besides P5NT-Deluxe, I've read a lot about it instability.

I used to have its little brother, the P5N-E SLI with a Q9550 in it. Nice setup for its time. But the problem I always had was trying to populate all 4 slots with the fastest memory the board could accept. It was VERY particular about RAM. As far as I know, the person that has it and the CPU now, is still gaming happily on it.
I really don't think you're going to find a new LGA 775 board the equal of it anymore.
