Need help with a Gateway Computer

[RangerSVT]

First of all, yeah yeah I know a gateway but it isn't mine

I'm trying to fix this Gateway GT4010 Desktop Computer and it seems like it has a bad motherboard, no post or post behavior when removing the memory modules from the board.

It has an AMD Athlon64 I believe, but a replacement motherboard is almost $170 and it's a FIC

Is there another board I could buy for cheaper that has onboard vga and accepts DDR PC3200 and will fit this desktop?

Any help would be greatly appreciated and kindly rewarded with a hug.
Thanks

Since the GT4010 uses a BTX layout, according to the ebay link I found, you're not gonna find any consumer BTX socket 939 motherboards out there.

Your best bet is to look for a BTX socket 939 motherboard on ebay.

A want to be truck and a Gateway. Your on a roll.

I have to agree with the others when they say it sounds like it's time for an upgrade. But if the computer is still good enough for your needs then I would go to a place like newegg and grab a decent priced Antec case with PSU. Then buy a socket 939 board used from someone here at [H] or maybe look for a new one not sure if they are hard to find or not, and get her back up and running. With shipping you should be able to get the system back up and running for about $100 or less but this assumes the problem really is your motherboard. Oh and since it's a BTX case I am going to assume you will probably need a standard heat sink but again you can probably get a used one here on the forums or a cheap one of newegg.
