    Hi,

    buying a new motherboard is not worth it. I do not know where to get it in the first place, but it would be at around 200 - 250€ I guess. You almost get a new laptop for that kind of money.

    As for the gfx card. I can't help you with a vBIOS, as I have a HD3650 DDR3 with 256MB.

    This worked very good, maybe resell yours and try to get that? As far as I know, this card works the best, meaning, with least problems.

    Good luck!
