I'd have to read more about what issue there is here. If the motherboard is faulty, then that fault can cause many many many issues. And it would not have to be the same issue from one faulty board to the next.

If there is an issue on the motherboard related to onboard video would it still be possible to have a normal display on an EXTERNAL monitor?
