Hello,

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

My HP Elite 7300 MT has an Intel (R) 2600 @ 3.40 GHz processor.

I'm looking to replace my motherboard due to a PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot fault.

I also have to fit a PNY Nvidia Quadro K620 graphics card which is to be used for video rendering.

Before I order a motherboard I need to confirm I'm looking at the correct item?

Is the motherboard below suitable to fit my needs?

Asus B75M-PLUS S1155 Intel B75 DDR3 mATX

I've never attempted to replace a motherboard so any advice would be appreciated.

A friend of mine has offered to do the change over I just need to confirm I'm looking at the correct parts.

OK. The way your original post was written, I thought you were saying that your K620 wouldn't work because it was JUST a 2.0 slot.

Yeah, if your motherboard is broken, you will have to be careful because HP (and other large corp PC sellers) do things that are non-standard. Power supply plugs, motherboard standoffs, could be non-standard. You may end up having to change out more than you expected.

The PCIe 2.0 slot is no reason to change motherboards. The K620 card should work fine. You have an i7-2600 CPU (your description was a little confusing).

IF you choose to change motherboards you will have to buy a new version of Windows. You can't transfer the version that motherboard came with. A B75 chipset motherboard should work.

Hi Kanewolf,

Thanks for the response,

Sorry about the confusion its all new to me.

The motherboard has been diagnosed as faulty because it will not accept any graphic cards regardless of make.

As soon as a card is fitted the PC just bleeps shuts down.

Two IT graduates have confirmed the same issue.
