G5, 2000-0511 error, different motherboard?
I have Dell G5 in 2000-0511 error by introduce by youtubers.
By replace from stock cooler. I thinking replace even motherboard to Asus. will cut a case. To matching to case. Also weld the tapped hole. To ask small company. So when replace new motherboard, OEM OS can be work? By log in to Microsoft account?
I asked to local community. All of they say new case. Put out from Dell pc case. But as motorcycle rider I like this product Dell G5. Motorcycle is high modification. I mean can really modify so based on, as motorcycle customize are I thinking, can customize from even welder. So that is gonna be FUN. Super original PC. And as no one does in community.
But this is my first time.
・New power source caused how many pin?
・Motherboard.
Which one? Maybe mini ATX.
・USB port.
Is this if in back side? Could be wired to,,
Here?
Several question.
Also I hope DELL release customize BIOS.
And BOOT?
Local community said, that is wrong idea or hard to do it.
And looks no shop answer well.
First question are,
When replace Dell motherboard to Asus motherboard. Is that Windows run? At first place?
Or if I can buy large cooler version of the motherboard of DELL G5?
2000-0511 error is not to?
Thank you for your advice.

Exactly which G5 do you have and what version of BIOS?
2000-0511 is a cooling fan error. Have you checked to make sure the fan is plugged in correctly, is clean and turns freely? May just be time to replace the fan. You have to get a Dell fan because a non-Dell fan may give you an error message.
Dell typically uses customized connectors to front panel. So even if you can mod the case to fit in a non-Dell motherboard, you're going to have to map the wiring to the front panel to connect it to the new board.
You'd have to get a new board that's compatible with the CPU and RAM in the G5, plus a new heat sink because the Dell heat sink may not mount on a different board, etc, etc.
New board may mean you have to do a clean install of Windows because the hardware is different. Even if the current OS installation can boot the new motherboard you still have to buy a new product key from Microsoft because your current key is tied to the Dell motherboard.
If you need to do all that, it just might be easier to buy/build a new PC...
