If your motherboard is fried, it needs to be replaced, not fixed. And
once it's replaced, you *usually* don't need to reinstall Windows,
neither the existing version nor a new one. All you usually need to do
is a repair installation.




Who is "they"?

When you use a word like that, it sounds like it's the Geek Squad or
some similar group from a big box store. These are typically far and
away the worst possible source of technicians to fix anything wrong
with a computer, and I strongly recommend that you stay *far* away
from them.

Your choice, but if it were my computer, I would be extremely
concerned about who works on it.




In your last message, you said the motherboard is fried. Now you say
you reinstalled Windows. If the motherboard is fried, you can't
reinstall Windows, or do anything else.




Why? What does that have to do with the motherboard being fried?

If you're looking for help here in this newsgroup, you need to explain
your situation up front completely. Revealing what's going on, little
by little, as you're doing just makes everyone's life harder, and is
also very likely to get you bad advice.

Moreover, the sloppiness of your English makes your messages so hard
to read that I'm through with them. I don't want to have to get
through any more effort to try to find out what your situation is.
