can cops help with the issue

My pc has been theft.. if the experts will change the os, mother board or processor.. can I trace my pc.. weather the cops can trace it

The motherboard is the bit that would be traced, if any.

I don't believe there's much the cops can trace, though. The only way they find stolen desktops, I believe, is physically verifying serial numbers/MACs on suspected stolen goods.

If the mother board is changed I cant find the lost pc..??

The motherboard is your PC, effectively.

It's probably the second-most expensive part in it. It's what your copy of Windows is licensed to, and what all of the MACs (except wireless, if present) are tied to.

There might be a serial number printed on the case if it's a prebuilt (Dell, HP etc.), but that's far easier to change.

Even if they left it as is, they won't trace it
