Does it beep while booting? You don't mention it, so I have to ask.
The beeps are a bit of self diagnostics. The machine is doing a self test during start-up. If the beeps don't happen, then you board is most likely fried. If it has changed... a long and two short beeps instead of just one... then it is something else. Your MoBo owners manual can give you info on the beeps.
About which MoBo to purchase depends on your CPU. First place to start is at the website of the CPU manufacturer. They will have a "Suggested MoBo" list for use with your chip. Make sure you check that list first. Otherwise, unforseen conflicts can arise.
Good luck.
