My Motherboard Died—Looking for Suggestions on a Replacement

Asked by GamerGuy42
Hey everyone! I'm in a bit of a bind and could really use some advice. My MSI X470 Gaming Pro Carbon, which I purchased back in 2018, has stopped working with a GPU plugged in. It boots up fine without one, but I'm getting a VGA error indicated by the motherboard's debug LED. Unfortunately, my CPU doesn't have integrated graphics, so that's not an option. Considering how crazy prices are right now, I can't just jump to a DDR5 system. I'm hoping someone can help me find a suitable replacement for my old motherboard. Here's my current setup: - Ryzen 2700X - 32 GB DDR4 RAM - RTX 5070 (I initially thought my GPU was the issue, but even a 2060 wouldn't boot). Thank you all for your help!

I checked around and found several new X470 motherboards on eBay for under $150. There's one listed for about $110, so that might be your best bet!

BudgetBuilder99: I looked on Amazon but only saw used boards. eBay definitely sounds like the way to go!
