Recently one of my friends gave me a computer with dead motherboard, GeekSquad estimated $400 to fix the computer and suggested to buy new one instead. He were going to throw it away so i took it.
Computer name: Hp Pavilion p6310y AMD Athlon II X4 630 Quad-core processor 6GB DDR3 RAM, 1TB HD, 64BIT WINDOWS 7.
What happened is motherboard died and I called Frys Electronics to buy a similar mother board beacause the exact same motherboard that died costs around $250(m2n78-la violet). The Specialist suggested me (MSI 880GM-e43) something similar with the specs I have provided so I went to Frys Electronics bought for $85 which is 3times cheaper. (so i thought its too good to be true that it will work exactly same) but anyways I gave it a try. I installed the new motherboard powered on and went to bios fixed some configs. the installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 OS. """I dont know why but it started installing copy of a Windows 7 very slow it took about 3 hours to install a copy of a Windows 7""" after it got installed I booted it up and computer seems to respond very slow on every application I open.
It seems like there is something that is not enough for a computer to go faster. is it problem with a hard driver or something else. Please help! I have 2 days left to return the motherboard I bought at the Frys Electronics.
What I am looking for is motherboard very similar to this "m2n78-la violet" and every part that i will put in will work.
