Replacing ic7-g

[BudAshes]

Im swapping out my motherboard for an rma and when i reboot do i have to reinstall windows or anything? Same exact motherboard and everything else.

I think you may be fine with just a resetting of the BIOS.

It's always a safe bet to reinstall windows, but try it out first and see what happens.

No need to reinstall the OS or run a repair when you swap out with an identical motherboard.

So i dont need to do anything just plug it all back together and i am ready to go?

Like I said, you will of course need to customize the BIOS again.

I went from an ASUS A7N8X w/ 1700+ JIUHB to my current system, IC7 w/ 2.4C and did not reinstall my OS. So that should tell you something

I have swapped out identical motherboards a couple of times and all I have to do is go into bios and retweak some settings(agp versus pci,memory timings, etc).

Your OS should pickup everything without any problems.

hopefully the motherboard was broken and not the OS install.
