If the fans are getting power from the motherboard and they are still spinning then that means the motherboard is still receiving and distributing power. Does the hard drive spin? Are there beep codes?
When I turn on the computer, I hear noises coming from the area around the hard drive disc, unconfirmed if its the hard drive, other things in the area, or both. The only kind of beeping I can distinguish is some kind if beep/click noise that happens about 4 times, maybe 3. I can't tell if the hard drive spins, but I hear noise from it

I guess then from here I will do whatever I can with a new motherboard, carefully install it, then I should be OK as long as I follow a list of precautions. For the sake of novelty, may I get a list of things to know when installing a new motherboard? Would be appreciated.

Whn I got the computer back, it had one screw in and the video card kept the motherboard in place... so I wont need a new case. Most likely a motherboard that I can get wont be micro-atx and still will have socket 775 and as most modern motherboards do, it'll support Intel Pentium 4. I don'y know how it can short out in any way because it in no way contacted the bottom of the case because it always hovered above it due to the bulging screw sockets... but I still don't understand how the fans still all work if it short-circuited. There is no way that im getting a new case though. That's going a bit too far with the computer upgrade. The last original pieces would be the hard drive and the CPU. I wouldn't be able to call it my HP Pavilion.

Eek, it looks like that ASRock motherboard doesn't work or I somehow short circuited the motherboard... It never moved around when it was on, but I was told that I probably short circuited it somehow because I couldn't screw it in...but if it short-circuited and the fans all work... then what does that mean? Above all else, I think I can get a free motherboard from a friend.

Oh god, ASROCK. I brought my computer into an expert and after a week he told me that the board didn't work... it was an ASROCK motherboard, but it was cheaper than what you've got, so don't fear.
