Just go to newegg and sign up for daily specials, they offer components
for cheepcheep pretty often. you can get a new mother board and chip to
pop in the box, you might be able to reuse your memory sticks and
everything else just pretty much plugs into it. You might need a new
power supply too depending on what your old one puts out or what kind of
connectors it has.
The new boards will come with a CD with drivers, you really won't have
to reinstall your OS unless you want to, so it should be pretty much the
same as the one you have now but likely faster.

My 8 year old HP is now spontaeously turning it's self off. Diagnostics
said that the memory failed the test, so I bought new Kingston DIMMs and
installed them. It's still doing the same thing, so I'm thinking the mother
board has a bad chip or something. I'm thinking I'd rather build a new one
from scratch to avoid all the bloatware that comes iwth a new PC.
Any recommendations for hardware these days? I haven't bought such since
mid 2000's.
