Issue in System
-
@thecreativeone91 and any mistake on the motherboard may burn up the CPU, memory or other components. The potential cost, even if the components and labour are considered free, could be very high.

I tried to boot the system without RAM but there is no beep sound heard from the motherboardA computer cannot boot without RAM. It cannot even get to the point to beep. There is no need to test in this way as there is no way that it can function. It's like trying to start a car with no gas - you know it won't start, so it doesn't tell you anything that you didn't already know.
Some boards have onboard memory, a minute amount. I've seen it. It won't get much past POST, but it will boot.

Are you sure that that wasn't just the CPU cache?

laptops/netbooks etc. Sure. I have yet to see a single server with onboard memory.

It was a laptop, yes.

Never seen a server with onboard memory, but I have seen servers with enough CPU cache to load Windows!

That a whole other class. it's not unusual for smaller device to solder some RAM directly on the motherboard. In a server everything needs to be replaceable.

I found an issue in the board where the pin of motherboard is bended so I am going to change the motherboard.Can anyone give the details which motherboard supports the Intel Core 2 Duo E7300 @2.66 GHz/3M

Core 2 Duo E7300
I thought this was a server? But either way that is a Socket 775 cpu. What computer is this? is it a custom computer or a brand name, if it's a brand name you'll need to buy the motherboard from the manufacturer for the computer or just replace the whole computer. If it's a custom computer you could replace the motherboard.

In this system only Software RAID 1 is configured in the CentOS 6.2.Can I change the hard disk to be connected in the new motherboard such as GA-G31M-ES2L.Whether the RAID 1 supports in this motherboard without any Data loss?
-
Motherboard crashed is confirmed and I need to change another hard disk.Whether I need to buy the same motherboard are can I use another motherboard for booting RAID 1 configured system

You need the matching motherboard for your server, can't just be any motherboard that supports the processor.

That's not really related to what we are saying. We are saying that motherboards are not blindly interchangeable. What is the model number of the machine in question?

Motherboard has no connection to the software, which is where the RAID is.

If it's running a Core 2 Duo, replace the computer. It's probably cheaper.

Context. Remember where he is. I'm sure that that is not true.

@scottalanmiller Model of motherboard is Asus P5N75-AM

Asus is a good board, for a home system (not considered appropriate for business use here.) I would, if possible, replace with the same board. Is there a reason that you are looking at a different board? Asus are not the cheapest, I guess you could save a few dollars but only the same board is going to be a transparent switch to the operating system. That board appears to still be available here, I assume that it is there as well.
Although AJ is correct, the cost of this board here in the US is easily double the cost of a new computer that is newer.

For a newer model board? That's not true. For the cost of an OLDER style board? Absolutely.
