Replacing a Gigabyte GA-Z68P-DS3 motherboard

My PC started having issues a few years ago.

• It started tuing off mid-way through gaming sessions
• It then had issues tuing on, where all of the fans would start but the system would shut down
• It now doesn't tu on at all

searching the inteet has made me think my motherboard is the issue (Gigabyte GA-Z68P-DS3) and it looks like others have had similar issues with this motherboard too.

(My PSU is 700w 80+ certified but I don't think that was the issue)

I'm looking to just buy a brand new board, but as my one no longer exists anymore I'm struggling to understand what board I can purchase.

Do I just need to ensure it is a 1155 socket, compatible with my i5 2500k CPU and 1600 mhz DDR3 RAM? Is there a site that has the ability to suggest upgrades to an existing model you want to replace?

The Z68 chipset is no longer supported in products by the looks of it - can I just buy any board now as long as it supports the above 3 criteria?

Any help would be appreciated. I've been without my rig for 2 years and really want to get it sorted.

Thanks,

Evan
