The mainboard needs to be replaced to solve that problem, but compare the cost of a board to the value of the system -- you may find that a board alone costs more than the system is actually worth.
There are many complete, working 5490 systems for sale on Ebay starting at $50 and going to $150 for those with discrete video and i7 CPUs. That's not a lot more than boards cost -- and if you cannot replace the board yourself, you'll be looking at $100+ for labor in addition to the cost of the board.
