I have a dead ASRock M3A770DE, chipset Northbridge AMD 770, Southbridge SB710.
I've looked for a used same model motherboard, only available from China, and I don't want to wait 2 to 3 weeks to get my computer back up. I've also looked for another model using the same chipset, but the 770 chipset seems to have been little used. If I purchase a motherboard with the same Southbridge chipset but a different Northbridge chipset, (or even both different chipsets) can I boot into safe mode and install the drivers for the new motherboard, and avoid having to reinstall all of my software?
thanks
Anne
