I think my motherboard is fried. My computer fell, and I need to know how dangerous collision may be? It was a very bad accident with my table, and the PC just fell, and collided with the floor. The next morning, the computer was off and in pieces, and I immediately knew it is very bad. I tested all components on my second PC, and the motherboard is the only thing that is not working. What should I do to fix it? Would anybody give me some advice?

If your motherboard is fried because of the collision with the floor, then there is no hope for it. I would just chuck it away and buy a new one. I have several of those mishaps, so I never tried to fix any of them. It is electrical device, and if the power surge hit it, then the components on it are gone. It is much easier, and not to tell cheaper, to buy a new one. There are many available models, so you should not have any problems in finding which one you need. If you liked yours, how I like mine, and then buy the same one. That, you will be sure all your components will work just as before.

It is indeed much easier and cheaper to buy a new one, but there is a way to fix dead and fired motherboard. As you can see, there are many conductors on the board, and one way to fix it is to replace all of them. If you have some extra experience at welding and have some extra cash lying around, just go for fixing. I did that one, and I managed to fix it. I put the largest components I could find, so the computer was much more stable than before. I must tell you that it can take too much time of your day, so do that if you have some time to spare.

I will just add that I am using anti-keylogger program for several days, and it is just fantastic. I did not put any thought should I buy a piece of software like this one. I read several great reviews from the users, and I just went on the site and bought it. This program has fantastic code imbedded, and the optimization and protection can go through several variations and levels, depending upon your computer and installed components. Everything is just clean and quite easy to use. Also, the support system is amazing, and many companies should see how to implement them into their software. Just go for anti-keylogger program, because you will never regret the decision.
