HP 310n Motherboard fried i think... Options?

Hello folks,

Any help is appreciated...

Is there a cheap replacement motherboard for a HP 310n?
I no longer have the original startup cd, thinking this could be a problem too....

Here's what happened...

I bought a 256mb PC133 chip for my computer.
The one installed was a 256mb PC100.

Tried them both, wouldn't boot.
Tried just the new one, booted fine.
So tried installing both again, in different slots.

Fired it up... heard a faint <pop!>, and smelt something burning...
Basically, it tries to start, cd green light goes on, power button lights for a second, but the fan doesn't start, and nothing happens.

I've tried the ram, cpu, and power supply in another computer, all work fine. So, the only thing left i can think of is the motherboard.

Been looking for a cheap replacement... but very confused.
Any suggestions?

I never heard of mismatched memory frying a motherboard.. is that possible? Or a horrible coincidence?

Again, any help appreciated.

Cheers!
Dan
