    Better save your data to another storage device before changing your Motherboard.
    You can go for ASUS or INTEL depending upon your choice. :)

    Are you sure it is a motherboard issue? I have replaced maybe 6 motherboards this entire year, almost always you just need to reseat the RAM or have bad sectors in your hard drive (Which could possibly be a cause of data loss).
