[Solved] Replacing ffried motherboards

You mean besides disassemble and reassemble your whole machine?

Mainly, you'll probably need to get your important data off the hard drive and reinstall Windows. Not always -- and since it looks like you've got a similar board, you might give it a try and see if the drivers and so on are close enough that they'll work. But most of the time if your system was set up for one motherboard and you put in a new one with a different set of drivers and settings, your system will turn into a churning mess until you do a clean install. Most of the time, I've found, you're better off formatting the hard drive entirely. Then reinstall Windows, then install the drivers for your board, then install antivirus, then wait for a s***load of Windows updates to install themselves, etc...

Also, once the new system is set up, it's good practice to go into the BIOS and check that the default settings are what you want -- mostly basic stuff, like it recognizes all your drives and they boot in the right order ... and if you did any overclocking with your last board, you'll need to go through that process again.

If you're new to system-building (maybe you are, maybe not, I don't know), the main thing is to be VERY careful about static so you don't fry any components that way -- keep yourself grounded and do your best to avoid things like walking around needlessly, touching things unnecessarily, and so on. Another tip if you're a novice: you'll want to clean off the thermal paste from the CPU and heatsink every time you disassemble, and reapply more when you reassamble. It's very important. Most would recommend using Arctic Silver.
