HP Pavilion a6150e Updates
After closer inspection of the motherboard in this system, I discovered a bunch of bad United Chemi-Con KGZ caps, so I installed an aftermarket Asus socket FM2 motherboard with an Athlon x4 740 Quad cord CPU. This is the one that was in my daily use machine. Fits like a glove in this case. This upside down ATX form factor case LOL. The new board maxes out at 32GB of RAM, and I have a 550 watt 80 plus bronze power supply. It's generic model, but is built well so I don't expect any problems.
