So Last night I was using my PC and everything was fine, shut it down and went to bed. When I woke up this morning I turned on my computer and it stayed on for about 5 seconds and then just shut down. It continued to do this all day and I tried everything I could think of, then went into to try and take out a stick of ram thinking maybe I had a bad one and my finger accidently hit my heatsinc and all of the sudden it fell off my processor and motherboard.
Aparently the clip on the plastic part attached to the motherboard where the metal clip on the heatsinc clips onto snapped. I took the part off in hopes that my old motherboard might have the same screws in the same places and what not and I could attach it but they were different.
Does anyone know if it's possible to buy replacement brackets like this? Or if you buy a new heatsinc all together, do they come with their own brackets or ways to mount them without the stock one? Or am I pretty much screwed and I need to buy a new motherboard?

Any help would be appreciated.
