Hello,
I will briefly explain my problem, a friend brought me a PC (HP Pavilion a6017.fr) that is 2 years old and is broken. After various checks, I think it's the motherboard (or processor?) that is faulty.

I would need help finding an equivalent for this motherboard so that I only have to replace it.

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP

    Hello,
    is the chipset important?

    I post because I hadn't provided the solution to my problem

    actually, it was just the power supply that was faulty

      Hello,
      I believe I have the same problem, my PC (the same as yours) won't start.
      How did you manage to fix the issue?

      For your information, my PC stopped booting overnight. I assumed it was the motherboard, but your message makes me think it might actually be the power supply.

      Thanks in advance for your reply!

      Hello,
      For my part, there's a fault in the starting circuit power supply, through the MCU board
      To test, connect a black wire (ground) with the green wire (start command +5 VOLTS power supply) from the ATX1 terminal
      together.

      So ultimately, was it the motherboard or the power supply unit that you had to change? Because I have the same problem, the PC turns on but shuts down by itself or doesn't turn on at all.

    in my case, it was just the power supply
    less than 20 euros for repairs
