Introduction
Does your computer shut down often? Is your screen and/or your sound not working? Do you get a lot of error messages or random crashes? It might not be a problem with the computer as a whole, but rather an issue with the motherboard. This piece of tech is integral to all the parts of a computer "communicating" properly, so when it's damaged, it might result in any of these symptoms.
