    At this point you're better off selling the parts and getting a new machine. Otherwise you can look for a new mobo for that system.

    Yes i was thinking the same but i have no idea how much i can sell it for parts also how much can i sell the x9000 the cpu so that i can put those money in to the new laptop.

    If i want a new motherboard how much it will cost me. i dont know if its worth.

    Depends where you look, the price should be around $150-200. Anything beyond that is overpriced.

    You should be able to sell the screen for at least 100USD, if it has no scratches.

    Check prices online with google, type your processor's name/type and look around to give you an idea.
