Check Amd FX CPUs for 700 series motherboards.
You received an FX 4200 with a faulty board. I’ve located an ECS IC780 (DDR3) that might fit. It’s confirmed to work on my X2 260 setup, which is similar to yours. The AM3 socket works with dead HP boards too. I’m checking if the FX CPU can run with this board and considering a crossflash to test compatibility. Boards using 700 chipsets that support AMD FX are worth looking into.
This supports FX to some degree, but confirm your BIOS matches the requirements. These models are noted in the HWbot database as compatible with FX chips, and I've tested them across various chipset types.
