Each model motherboard is different but most have power, fan, cpu, ide, floppy, AGP, PCI, RAM. The new generation SATA boards are different again

On the motherboard what are the connection points for chips referred to?
carriers
Are circuit boards installed in long narrow slots on the motherboard called expansion cards?
Yes they are... The motherboard is a large, square circuit board, containing lots of sockets. Expansion cards are rectangular circuit boards that slot into the sockets on the motherboard.
Can you put in any processor in a computer?
No, the processor that you put on the motherboard has to have the same socket as the motherboard. The socket number will be right on the the part that the processor snaps onto. You also have to check the motherboard manual to see if it is compatible with the new processor speed ( example: 1.3ghz)
What is used to mount the motherboard and to prevent it from touching he metal portions of the case?
Preventing the motherboard from touching the case are stand-offs.
Can i replace uefi motherboard with an older motherboard?
assuming the older mother board has similar sockets and slots for your current devices parts (and your motherboard supports those devices) you should have no problem downgrading
How does one find information on socket a motherboard?
In order to find information on the various sockets on a motherboard someone would need to actually know the manufacturer and serial number of the board. This is written on it. With that information the person can check the maker's site for details of what sockets are where on it.
Can you upgrade turion 64 to Intel based CPU?
Not unless you replace the entire motherboard. Intel and AMD processors use different sockets and different chipsets.
Which of the CPU technology places the pins on the motherboard instead of the chip?
LGA Sockets, most often used by Intel place the CPU Pins in the motherboard instead of on the CPU. For your viewing pleasure: PGA Sockets place the pins on the CPU BGA Sockets solder the CPU to the motherboard, and use rounded beads instead of obvious pins Slot Sockets look and behave in a manner similar to PCI, and have card slot arrays instead of individual pins DIP Sockets place the pins only on the outer edges of the chip. These are old and crude. PLCC Sockets have metal fins on all four sides, with a small chip that fits inside. This chip has receiving points that are flat against the chip, giving them an appearance similar to that of a game cartridge. (Some New BIOS chips still use this. Little chip nested inside of a brown plastic square) Think thats about it, though I'm sure there's a socket type I missed somewhere!
Fixing computer motherboard?
Unless it's a simple and obvious problem, it's probably not worth the time and effort. One little cracked trace on the motherboard can be nearly impossible to find and repair. And unfortunately, it will be almost impossible to detect a faulty gate on one of the chips. If the motherboard has a problem, get another... seriously.A computer motherboard is one of the most important components to a computer. It provides a way for hardware to communicate with each other by connecting them to the sockets that are found on the motherboard.
What two parts of the computer found on mother board?
Many motherboards have CPUs and graphics cards (GPUs) that attach to the motherboard via sockets. Some, however, have components that are soldered on to the motherboard and not meant to be removed. ASUS ROG series computers, for example, typically utilize GPUs and CPUs that are attached to the motherboard (they do not attach with a socket). You will notice that Intel CPUs with the "HQ" designation are the chips that are soldered on to the motherboard and are not meant to be removable. Intel CPUs ending in "MQ" are removable and can be easily swapped in and out of motherboards. Examples would be "Intel Core i7-4700HQ Processor" (non-removable) or "Intel Core i7-4810MQ Processor" (removable). Some things that are almost universally attached to the motherboard for all computers would be the PCI express sockets, CPU socket and connections for peripheral devices (like USB and headphone jacks).
What are the parts in the motherboard?
the parts of the motherboard includes :CPU SocketHeat sinkCooling fanCMOS Batteryand many other more.........Some of the most important parts are the CPU, which you may have to buy separately. There's the fan for the CPU which you also may have to buy separately. There's the bios which controls the starting of the computer. There's the memory which you may have to buy separately. There's a cmos battery that comes with it but can wear out. There's a cmos which is a special memory to store information about the configuration of your computer. There's a bus to transport information from the different slots to the CPU. There are slots which may be pci, pci express, agp and others depending on how old the motherboard is. There are also sockets for the CPU, for the power cables, for usb cables, esdi cables for the disk drives and optical drives, there are sockets for the fan or fans to plug in for power, there are sockets also for the keyboard, mouse, usb cables, serial port, vga port for video, ethernet port, and sound input and output, and sata hard drives also may be included. There are special sockets also for the restart button and power button cables to connect to on the motherboard.
What size tools are needed wrench or sockets?
Wrenches and sockets all come in multiple sizes. Which you have depends on the kind of work you do. Most craftsmen have a full set of metric wrenches and sockets and a full set of SAE wrenches and sockets. Most get by with 3/8 drive sockets, but many have 1/2 sockets as well.
