mother board

AMD Athlon XP 3200+ 462 Processor CPU with fan I have an HP pavillion. Would like to know if this set up would fit and work OK.

Most if not all HP consumer PCs need a microATX motherboard. They usually measure 9.6" by 9.6"

What model PC and you using?

[chumpms]

I have two  519 J 's   Ist one fan started to run all time then , hard drive stoped working, and put in another one  fan still runs all time and now it only stays on for approx. 4-5 min. then shuts off.

Download Coretemp and monitor the processor temperature.

Look in the Event Viewer log for critical errors.

Could you tell me what would be a good choice for a processor for this board?

What model HP PC are you using?  519J?  Please confirm.

[chumpms]

Yes it is 519 J

This is the motherboard for the HP 519.dk.  Is this your motherboard? If yes, then look over the supported processors. The bios will dictate what processors are supported.
