Thanks to Ron / BCLUG and William Park for responses about a recommended mother board and a recent build.

Although I did build the desktop PC with the mother board that is now failing, I'm not going to build the replacement PC. Building will take too long and the expert friend who helped me with the build is to busy to help me with another build.

So, I will buy a pre-built PC.

Seems that Lenovo certifies their desktop PCs for Ubuntu linux but they nave compatibility problems with Debian linux.
