CPU/Mobo Is there any AM2+ motherboard still available

[tech.addict]

My old PC has started to throw tantrums!!

Config:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 CPU
2GB DDR2 RAM
Biostar 785 motherboard
500GB HDD
Sapphire 6670 GFX card
PSU - Colorsit
Windows 7

It was restarting all of a sudden without any BSOD. Sometimes it restarted just after starting the PC.

First I did a fresh installation of OS.

No improvement.

Then I found that if I remove the GFX card then the PC runs without any problem. Confirmed it by running the PC without GFX card for 3-4 days. Whenever the GFX card is plugged in the problem reappeared. Confirmed by repeating the process.

I recently updated the ATI GFX driver. So thought that could a problem. To check made an fresh installation of XP in a separate partition. Same as before.

So concluded the GFX card may be faulty. Purchased a 6670. To my horror after plugging it in the PC restarted as before a number of times.

So, thinking the PCIE slot may be defective . If so, the motherboard will have to be changed. I don't want to upgrade the processor and RAM now - so is there any AM2+ mobo still available with DDR2 support?

If NO - then what could be the VFM upgrade for mobo+CPU?[DOUBLEPOST=1378972848][/DOUBLEPOST]Come on guys!!

Have you disabled automatic restarting in Windows? If you can, check your event log.

^^ I'll check the event log.
Any good PSU in the range of 2-2.5K? My config is not a power hungry one.

ASRock N68C-GS FX, this mobo might meet your needs. This motherboard supports AM3 CPUs as well as AM2+ and AM2. It also has support for DDR 2 RAM, so i think you can use your existing CPU and RAM . It is available on Flipkart, so grab it while the stock lasts.

@tech.addict, Mate, before you buy the Mobo from Flipkart, please check your wattage pf the CPU and the Mobo. I had a bad experience recently, where my CPU was 125W and the Mobo's was 95W, it kept automatically shutting down.
Mine is a AMD Athlon 64 x2 6000+ Could anyone let me know if this Mobo is compatible with the 6000+ ?

Forgot to update the thread .
The PSU was the culprit - replaced with Corsair VS450 - running smoothly after that!!
