2 Can I fix a dead motherboard?
The DFI LanParty DK 790FX-B M2RSH motherboard of my computer stopped working overnight. It turns on, but the promt stops at error 88, which means, according to its manual, a corrupted CMOS data or a defective motherboard ("NB chip may be defective". I guess it refers to the northbridge chip).
So, I loaded the default values stored in the ROM BIOS as the manual explains (moving the jumper), but I get the same error. Then, I brought it to technical service and the technician said me, after a couple of days, that motherdboard is dead (I guess he tried out every part) and I need a new one (mine has "only" three years). So, here is the question: ¿can I fix a dead motherboard? ¿Recover the ROM BIOS in some way? ¿Or the best I can do is send it to recycle.

My motherboard is P8Z77 -V LX and processor is Intel - 2600K, graphic card GTX-570. I haven't been using it for 6 years at least. I changed CMOS battery and reboot it. I let it run for 3 days and I play Devil May Cry 4. I took the CPU to computer shop and let them do some maintenance and apply thermal paste and wanted to upgrade to SSD and win 10. They did the maintenance only then called me back said motherboard spoiled, no electric current and told me to change motherboard directly. How is this even happening when the computer is running so smoothly and so fast. I know it's old but it runs perfectly fine before that. Regret sent it to the shop.

@ngshiouming I am a bit confused by this. Does your motherboard (computer) work right now or not? If it does, ignore what they told you at the shop.
