My mobo is dead and need to replace it. Could you point me some alternatives?
My system config is:

Intel 1st gen i3 540
Intel DH55TC
Corsair 8Gb Ram
Corsair VX450
Seagate 7200 1Tb + 2Tb

Motherboards for 1st gen i3/i5 cpus are rather hard to come by these days.You may find such motherboards from manufacturers like mercury/zebronics etc being sold at computer stores at many places-you can check them out if you're so inclined.You're also likely to find older h55 motherboards on sites like ebay. For example,here's one that i found:

I second @quicky008 - yes ebay is the place you need to look if you can't find in any nearby stores.

Anyway, even though a bit costly my recommendation is this :
