What kind of processor is in the board? There should be a model name on the board.

Posted

How would I go about finding out the socket of a motherboard? I have 2-3 BRAND new motherboards laying around but I'm not sure how I would go about telling what socket it is.. 

 

I woke up and my computer is turning on for 3-5 seconds then shutting right off.

I did research and everything I see is showing the motherboard went bad.. It makes sense since there's a few things wrong with the mobo.

 

1) Broken Sata Ports (1)

2) Broken GPU Clip (1)

3) USB Shorted out

 

Please don't ask how.

I also wanna know how I would go find the socket of a existing mobo, PS. These mobos I have don't have the ORIGINAL box so I won't know how to tell.

It should say just under the socket itself what socket it is, failing that, the model of the Mobo should be on the board somewhere. A quick google search after that would yeild what you're looking for
